Description
In 1919, Hotel Congress was built to serve the growing cattle industry & railroad passengers of the Southern Pacific Line. The Congress of the 1920s was the perfect shelter for genteel travelers and high-rollers fresh from the East. Hotel Congress could have continued its charming existence as just another place of lodging for road weary guests, except that the date of January 22, 1934 has forever stamped its historical mark upon this edifice. A fire started in the basement of the hotel and spread up the elevator to the third floor. This fire led to the capture of one of the country's most notorious criminals John Dillinger.
