Plano Hotel - Plano, IL - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

From the National Register of Historic Places application:
The Plano Hotel was built in 1868 by John W. Smith. The building has two stories plus a full basement. There are twenty-five rooms. It is constructed of brick and has a stone foundation. The architectural style is Italianate. It is located at the northeast corner of Main Street and West Street. The Hotel is located in the business section of downtown Plano and is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It has always operated as a hotel until the 1940s when it was converted into a hotel with apartments. Its historic integrity has been basically maintained with the exception of a rear screened porch being converted to a one-story addition, interior modernization of bathrooms, a heating system consising of a boiler and radiators, the addition of some rooms in the central stair hall, and the remodeling of the front porch. Over the years, as proprietors changed, the name of the hotel changed also; however, the townspeople refer to itas the Plano Hotel.
