After Elizabeth Martin died in 1930 at 103, her daughters continues to operate the hotel. In 1954, Lucy's nephew, Foster Brown, assumed management, and thirteen years later, the Morgan County Historical Society purchased the frame half of the hotel, restored several rooms and opened a museum. In 1974 the society purchased the brick side, and in 1978 the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
