Welcome

Brookhaven's grand matron of architecture is THE INEZ HOTEL. The three-story brick structure, built in 1904, met the criteria for inclusion in the National Register because it has architectural and social significance, It's a restrained example of Romanesque Revival architecture a style that was popular in the first quarter of the 20th century. What is rare about the Inez Hotel is that so few towns have been able to retain or keep their old hotel buildings. As highways and interstates became popular and the railroad less popular for travel, so did many small hotels, especially those located in downtown areas and near the railroads. They became obsolete and most were demolished.
