The Morse Hotel in Holyoke is pictured in 1912. The 1916 industrial edition of The Holyoke Enterprise touted the Morse as a 15-room house with reserve capacity, in case of crowds, that could be utilized for caring for double normal quota of guests. Owner Mert Morse purchased and took charge of the house approximately 1908, leasing a hotel adjoining his 1916 location. At one time he was chef for the famous Brown Palace Hotel of Denver and one of the best cafes in the nation. The Morse Hotel was conveniently located to both railway and business section of the city. — Source: Phillips County Museum
