This unusual structure was built by Edward F. Barrows in 1898 and opened as the Barrows House Hotel in 1898. It may have been known as the Hotel Cofer in the 1920s. I’ve not been able to locate anything about its history otherwise.

This old hotel was directly across the street from Washington’s train depot (demolished in the late 1970s). It’s clients were mostly traveling salesmen who would have gotten off the train while making their pitch in Washington. The building was recently purchased in early 2024 and it being converted into a speakeasy/cigar bar/and upstairs condos!
