According to the Historic Preservation Certification, "The hotel was abandoned in 1989 and remained closed for nearly a generation with significant damage on the interior and upper levels. In 2004 the building was acquired and renovated as condominiums with great care for the surviving historic features. The present use has restored the exterior brick and limestone facade, maintained the original entrance, lobby stair and lobby as well as the rear hotel restaurant while incorporating the front ballroom into two level apartment units. On the upper levels, elevators remain in the original position with units replacing the hotel rooms. Despite the shift from hotel to condominium, the building retains a high degree of integrity that makes it a contributing resource in its historic district."
