Fox Hotel |
The Fox Hotel, built in 1925, was a relative newcomer
to the Elgin hotel industry . It was preceded by such hotels as The
Waverly, The Jennings (also known as The Fosgate)
and the Kelley Hotel. The Fox Hotel maintained 118 rooms with 60
baths. The hotel's lobby sported solid mahogany woodwork and terrazzo
mosaic floor.
While many of the Elgin hotels fell victim to the
wrecking ball, the Fox Hotel building still stands. At 156 Division, the
building was renovated by The Northwest Housing Partnership in 1993, and serves
as a senior citizen home.
