Description
Wheeler's Hotel was located on the east side of Prairie Street just north of the railroad, opposite the depot in Eutaw, AL., during the 19th century.
During the late 1870s it was called the Exchange Hotel and was conducted by Mrs. M.M. Cook. In the 1880s the hotel was being run by M.J. Wheeler as the Alexina House. Rates were set at $2.50 per day. This was the time of the Great Cotton Exposition at New Orleans, and trains from the East stopped at Eutaw that their patrons might dine at the Alexina.. Later the hotel was changed to the Wheeler's Hotel.
