Description
The Burchfield Hotel was across from ‘The Old Train Station’ (L & N Train Depot). The footings were still visible on the northwest corner of 3rd Street and Greensboro Avenue until construction of a new downtown hotel began in 2013. The Burchfield Hotel was constructed in 1912 as a grocery store by J. P. Burchfield and J. M. Burchfield. In 1985, the City purchased the property for the Original City Hotel Block Redevelopment Plan which never materialized. The structure was razed soon after.
