The old-fashioned hotel, furnished with original antiques, used to be a schoolhouse and a law office. In 1906 the place became the Commercial Hotel, which became the premier place to stay in town after their main rival burnt to the ground. Now a bed and breakfast inn, the place is rumoured to be haunted. Guests claim to have disembodied footsteps on the staircase, and faint laughter has been heard emanating from empty rooms.
