Fayetteville's Grand Hotel, Wooten and Camp Grocery Store, Pleasants Barber Shop, Pool Room, Royal Cafe Destroyed by Fire, Oct. 22, 1921

Hotel Fire

Fayetteville, Oct. 22—The Grand Hotel building on Hay Street, containing in addition to the hotel the grocery store of Wooten and Camp, the Pleasants barber shop and a pool room, and a building adjoining the hotel housing the Royal Café, were totally destroyed by fire early this morning, while the Rosemont Hotel was badly damaged by flames, smoke and water.

The total loss is undetermined at this time, but the aggregate insurance carried by the various proprietors of the various establishments affected is $39,500. Wooten and Camp’s loss will be $10,000 more than their insurance, while the café carried no insurance. Otherwise the loss is probably fully covered.
