Description:
Pictured are the front and side views of Hotel St. James with proprietor Jim Smith leaning against the window. A barber shop is seen to the left. Also depicted are several pedestrians and two men with an early automobile. Originally the Lambertson House when it was built in 1847 by John V. Lambertson, this wooden structure became the Hotel St. James when it was purchased by James Wilson Smith in 1892. Located at the southwest corner of Main Street and Fifth Street (University Drive), the hotel operated until the 1930s and was eventually torn down in 1962 after falling into disrepair.
