Description

Council Bluffs Changing Scene--The Grand Hotel and First Ave. and Pearl St., said to be the finest hotel in the West at its opening in 1891, burned to the ground in a million dollar fire in 1925. Sketch was made by Gail Connelly, 3325 Ave. B. from an old picture of the hotel.
[Photo of "Today" published in the Nonpareil isn't present in the file, but caption reads: "Today...a modern structure, the Hotel Chieftain, stands on the same corner. It replaced the burned out Grand Hotel in 1927. Typical of the contrast in years, modern autos line the street in comparison that ringed the old Grand."]
