The Valley Hotel was on the South West corner of 1st & L Streets, across L from the Washington Hotel. Built around 1872 or 1873, it was originally the Morning Star Hotel, then the Commercial Hotel, the name was changed to Valley Hotel in February 1908. Construction began on the annex (the right side) in June of 1908, which was opened in November. The original hotel was wooden, and was torn down in 1962, when it and other wooden structures were condemned as unsafe. The annex is made of concrete, and remains today, used as a residential hotel.
