The Scott Hotel is a former hotel located at 101 East Quincy Street in Hancock, Michigan,[1] originally known as the Hotel Scott.[2] As of 2009, it is also known as the Scott Building.[3] The five-story building is in the Renaissance Revival style, constructed of tan brick and trimmed with Lake Superior Sandstone.[1] The building was listed as a Michigan State Historic Site on January 17, 1986.[1]
Construction of the hotel was completed in August 1906.[4] It opened on August 14, 1906, and was owned by Archibald J. Scott,[2] for whom the building is named. The hotel closed in the late 1960s.[5] The Hancock Hardware store, located on the ground floor, closed in 2006.[5]
A 2004 study recommended that the largely unused building should be put to better use.[3] Beginning in 2006, the building underwent a $4.2 million renovation to create 28 apartment units for low-income seniors.[5][3] The renovation was completed and the apartments opened for occupancy in December 2007.[3]
