St. Nicholas Hotel (Albany, Georgia) Informations

The St. Nicholas Hotel in Albany, Georgia, at 141 Flint Ave. or 300-310 Washington St., was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

It was designed by architects Bruce and Everett (a partnership of Alexander C. Bruce and Alexander F. N. Everett) in Early Commercial style. It has also been known as the Lee Hotel.

It originally had a canopy at the front, but this was lost in a tornado on February 10, 1940 and not replaced. The hotel was severely damaged in the tornado, was rebuilt and reopened in 1941 as the Lee Hotel.

In 1916, it was the birthplace of bandleader Harry James.
