The Patrick Henry

Heading downtown you can see the old Patrick Henry Hotel straight ahead...built in 1925 it has now been converted to apartments. Their website HERE tells nothing of the old hotel's history...to me that is what I am always most interested in first. At least there's Wikipedia for info! I have shown you the Patrick Henry in the past HERE

Rubbish Tuesday - The Patrick Henry

(click on photos to enlarge)

The Patrick Henry was once a swanky hotel, now it is being turned into fancy apartments and commercial space. We stopped by one day during the summer while we were walking around downtown and tried to get in thinking there was a restaurant inside but all the doors were locked. So I don't really know if anything is open yet or not. Their WEBSITE is not very informative or even useful but their Facebook Page is pretty interactive. Still clueless though about what is inside and open to Joe Public. I did see THIS STORY about a restaurant to open soon-ish. There's also haunted stories about the Patrick Henry you can READ HERE

The Patrick Henry is located at 611 Jefferson Street in Roanoke.
