🏨 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 - 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗘'𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗟!

We're taking a trip back in time to circa 1909 with this historic image of the West Hotel in Blooming Prairie!

Take a closer look at the writing along the bottom of the photograph. The hotel proudly advertised steam heat, baths and electric lights, amenities that were certainly worth mentioning in the early 1900s!

It's always fascinating to look back at the businesses and buildings that were once part of our community.

❤️ Here's where we'd love your help!

Does anyone know where the West Hotel was located in Blooming Prairie or what eventually happened to the building? Maybe you've heard stories about it from parents or grandparents!

Share what you know in the comments. We'd love to learn more about this piece of Blooming Prairie's history! 🕰️
