The
NRHP Nomination Form contains the following verbiage to describe this contributing building's significance:
The Roseburg Hotel is a two-story L-shaped brick building with a diagonal corner entrance at the junction of Lane and Sheridan Streets. The building has a wooden cornice with dentil trim. Fenestration on the second level is double-hung one/one lights, with concrete sills, some paired; windows on the street level are large, fixed plate glass lights with transoms. The building is stuccoed. There is a one-story wooden addition on the south side of the building. There is an auxiliary entrance on the north elevation.
The Roseburg Hotel was built in 1903 adjoining and attached to the Depot Hotel which was built in the 1870s and was later demolished. This building was constructed by Harvey Jones who had purchased the Depot Hotel in 1898.
Writing in 1904, a biographer noted: "In 1903 he (Jones) built the large brick structure known as the Roseburg House, which is 90' x 80', and is two and three stories high. The hotel is first-class in every particular and has a good patronage."
The Roseburg Hotel is now a part of the Roseburg Mission complex and houses the kitchen and dining room.
This building is Inventory #201 on page 91 of the NRHP Nomination Form. Today, this building is home to the Roseburg Rescue Mission.
