D. Cavin.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is an intact example of a turn-of-the-century rural multiple-use hotel with Victorian Commercial detailing. It is also tied to the commercial development of Bostwick and to its founder, John Bostwick, Sr. (1859-1929). It is described as one of few such rural hotels in the region.","narrative":"Built in 1902 on Main Street in Bostwick, Georgia, this two-story brick building served as both hotel and store. Town founder John Bostwick, Sr., a cotton farmer and businessman, had it built to house traveling salesmen visiting his supply company and oil mill, and it also held a Masonic lodge hall. Local architect/builder W. D. Cavin designed it with segmentally arched openings, a stepped front, a false parapet and brick corbelling. Inside, the second floor has a central hall with nine rooms, and the ground floor retains shelves, counters and a cashier booth. Bostwick lost the property around 1910 when cotton prices fell, and later owners used it as a store with a residence or boarding house above, with commercial use continuing into the 1970s. It is recognized for its role in the town's commercial growth, its link to Bostwick, and as an intact rural hotel of its era. The building is now vacant and used for storage.","period_of_significance":"1902-1944","architect_builder":"W. D.
