George Hamburger Block/Paris Hotel Building

The red brick, three-story commercial building rises from a rusticated stone foundation and features a three-bay, cast-iron storefront. The 1891 building typifies late 19th century Commercial Style architecture. The block is the work of architect Richard Phillips, with construction accomplished by Hallack and Howard builders. Hamburger formed half of the partnership of Hamburger & Eckert, a brewers’ and bottlers’ supply firm. In 1935, the residential hotel portion of the building reopened as the Paris Hotel, named for Paris Hargis, the proprietor.
