This photo of Sawyer House was taken around 1888. The only person identified in the photo is Jennie Riley, Florence (Trego) Kepler’s aunt, pictured standing second from left on the balcony. The hotel was built in 1887 by J.G. Sawyer. It was built close to the train depot so travelers could easily walk to their lodgings. Shortly after Sawyer died in 1889, the name was changed to American Hotel for several years. Lucy Sears then bought it around 1900 and changed the name to Sears Hotel and used the north addition as her apartment. The hotel was expanded to the south around 1910. An elaborate addition was made in 1919, adding another story to the building and extending it to the south and west and giving it its current stucco Spanish Mission-style exterior. P.F. Burge purchased the hotel in December 1925 and soon changed the name to Burge Hotel or Hotel Burge. The Burge later saw another expansion around 1949. — Source: Phillips County Museum
