Adelphi Hotel - 1913
Made by Bob_2006
2101 Quilchena Avenue, Merritt, BC. Andrew Hoggan was an enterprising hoteller who built a number of hotels in Merritt including the Adelphi. With 34 rooms, a parlour and dining room, the hotel sold the best wines and liquor as well as cigarettes and cigars. Prohibition closed the hotel in 1918. A fire in the 1940s damaged the east wing. When it was rebuilt, the number of rooms was reduced to 20. In 1948, a 'ladies' beer parlour was added. The Adelphie remains an important landmark in Merritt's history. Photographs of of the Adelphi as it once was are in the beer parlour today. City of Merritt Heritage Walking Tour
