A 3-story brick structure built on this site in 1857 by business leader George B. Adkins (1810-76), and called "Adkins House," ranked as a very fine hotel and served as depot for stage lines, including southern branch of Butterfield Mail, 1858-61.
In this hotel the Confederate Governor of Missouri, functioning in exile in Marshall, held several conferences with the Civil War governors of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.
Afterward the hotel was renamed "The Capitol."
It continued as host to celebrities for years.
In 1915, first floor was converted to mercantile uses.
The building was razed in 1971-72.
