It is also tied to builder Frank Beebe, a regionally important woolen manufacturer, and to the long philanthropic use he financed. It cites criteria A, B and C.","narrative":"Two linked buildings on Maple Street in Holyoke, Massachusetts, form a visual anchor on a corner facing a park-like square. The larger is the Maplewood Hotel, a Romanesque Revival structure of brick with brownstone trim, built in 1889-1890. It has a turret, pressed metal cornice, arched stone entrances and storefronts on Essex Street. Next door is a Tudor Revival townhouse with half-timbering and a slate roof, which was converted to offices in 1924 and joined to the hotel in 1927, when an auditorium was added. The hotel was the city's first residential hotel, built by woolen manufacturer Frank Beebe. After retiring in 1901, Beebe turned to charity influenced by the settlement movement. He conveyed the property to social betterment organizations, and it later served the Gladden House settlement purposes through the Service League Foundation. Its architecture, its place in Holyoke's growth and its link to Beebe's philanthropy supported its listing.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900- (specific dates 1889-90)","architect_builder":"Frank Beebe","architectural_style":"Romanesque Revival (hotel) and Tudor Revival (townhouse)","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied; the buildings are in good condition and unaltered, and at the time of the form housed the Home Information Center, Junior Achievement and elderly housing, with work in progress.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.819638-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/23/7953/63795323/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83003980.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83003980/1c04bbab2a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83003980/1c04bbab2a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maplewood_Hotel,_Holyoke_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</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:Maplewood_Hotel,_Holyoke_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63795323","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maplewood_Hotel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1892096"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/hampden-county/maplewood-hotel-83003980/"}
