It was built between 1923 and 1925, with a 60-room addition completed in 1942.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the hotel is one of the finest Colonial Revival structures in Fayetteville's downtown commercial district. It is said to exemplify early twentieth-century commercial Colonial Revival design, with a formal entrance bay, Palladian window, and swan's neck pediment. It is also tied to the 1920s growth of downtown hotels that catered to southbound tourists and rail passengers.","narrative":"On Hay Street in downtown Fayetteville, North Carolina, the Prince Charles Hotel was built between 1923 and 1925 by the Community Hotel Company, a local stock company incorporated in May 1923. The seven-story hotel is built of steel, concrete, and brick and follows the Italian Renaissance palazzo tradition, with a Colonial Revival treatment. Its front entrance bay rises almost three stories and carries a Palladian window and a swan's neck pediment decorated with garlands and rosettes. The first two stories are faced with limestone and the upper floors with brick. The hotel opened in 1925 with 125 rooms and was enlarged to 185 rooms in 1942. It catered to southbound tourists, rail passengers, and local diners. It is regarded as one of the finest Colonial Revival buildings in the downtown commercial district, and it reflects the optimism of Fayetteville's 1920s prosperity.","period_of_significance":"1923-1925","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Vacant at the time of the nomination, awaiting improvements as part of downtown revitalization.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.256802-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/65/7175/47717565/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/83001870.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001870/116673d7bc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001870/116673d7bc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Epicjeff","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prince_Charles_Hotel_Hay_Street.jpeg\" rel=\"noopener\">Epicjeff</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prince_Charles_Hotel_Hay_Street.jpeg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"99000779","name":"Fayetteville Downtown Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/fayetteville-downtown-historic-district-99000779/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717565","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Charles_Hotel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18217161"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/cumberland-county/prince-charles-hotel-83001870/"}
