TheSouthern Hotel is a three-storyClassical Revival structure located inEl Reno,Oklahoma. Listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1978, the building was constructed in 1909 as ahotel for passengers traveling theRock Island Railroad as well as travelers along theOklahoma Railway Company'sinterurban line toOklahoma City. When it was built, the Southern Hotel was one of the most opulent and extravagant hotels in Oklahoma.[3]
After railroad passenger travel was discontinued through El Reno in 1967, the hotel began to be neglected. It went through a series of owners and remained structurally sound but in disrepair. The building was restored in the 1980s; it is used for apartments and small offices, and has been the home of the El Reno Senior Citizens Center for several decades.
