On the right-hand side of the picture is the Hildreth Hotel. It was built in 1893 by a man named Azro Benjamin Franklin (A.B.F.) Hildreth. It was destroyed by a fire in 1935. It was one of the biggest fires to a building Charles City has ever seen. The street “Hilldreth Street” in Charles City, Iowa, is named after A.B.F. Hildreth.
