About the Weatherford Hotel
In Flagstaff, Arizona's downtown district, the historic Weatherford Hotel stands at 23 North Leroux Street, with U.S. Route 66 lying a block to the south. John W. Weatherford, who lived from 1859 to 1934 and came from Weatherford, Texas, built it. Early Flagstaff was plagued by disastrous fires, like most frontier towns, and following a run of bad fires in 1897, the city ordered that every building in its business district be made of brick, stone or iron.
The first floor of the original structure held a general store, while the Weatherford family lived above. In March 1899 Weatherford began a three-story brick hotel addition, which opened formally on New Year's Day in 1900. For years it was Flagstaff's most prominent hotel, and its guests included the artist Thomas Moran, the publisher William Randolph Hearst and the writer Zane Grey, who wrote his novel The Call of the Canyon in the third-floor Zane Grey Ballroom.
Fire damaged a three-sided balcony, which came off in 1929 together with the original cupola. Over time the building housed a restaurant, a theater, a billiard hall and a radio station. Henry Taylor bought the hotel in 1975 to keep it from being demolished. The Ballroom on the third floor reopened in 1997; in February 1999 the first stage of rebuilding the wrap-around porches was finished. Its National Register of Historic Places listing dates from 1978.
