300 Court Square – Womack Hotel. The Womack Hotel was constructed ca. 1925 on the original site of the 1886 Madison Hotel that burned in 1911. The building originally held eight businesses in addition to the hotel. The hotel was located in the southern section of the building (facing South Main Street). In the mid-1940s, the building’s tenants included Henline’s Barber Shop and the Womack Hotel Café.
The property at 300 Court Square was constructed ca. 1925 as a commercial complex and hotel. Originally, three stores faced West Main Street and three stores faced South Main Street – this pattern remains intact today. The building is two-stories in height with a flat, built-up roof, exterior stretcher bond brick walls, and a continuous concrete foundation. Storefronts at the first-floor level retain recessed entries flanked by commercial style windows. Some of the storefronts retain original multi-lights above single-sash windows; others have been enclosed. Second-story windows are enclosed with wood panels, as are a few of the first-story level windows. Header bricks extend immediately above the level of upper second-story windows. The roofline has concrete coping. The roof at the east end of the building (facing South Main Street) is slightly built-up in comparison to the north elevation that faces West Main Street." - Historic District Nomination
The building is in good condition and is used by a few businesses.
