Four Flags Hotel
The Four Flags Hotel opened with much fanfare on July 6, 1926. The newly
formed Niles Hotel Corporation had raised $350,000 to build a hotel on the site
of the Pike House hostelry. Chicago architect Charles W. Nicol designed the
hotel, which was touted as fireproof and modern. The hotel's name was the first
to recall the four nations that asserted sovereignty over the area: France,
Great Britain Spain and the United States. According to local legend, Al Copone
stayed at the Four Flags. ~ text of marker
