=== Historic sites === * The 1899 historic, [[NRHP|NRHP-listed]] and [[Michigan State Historic Sites|Michigan State Historic Site]] '''[[Hancock Town Hall and Fire Hall]]''' on Quincy Street is certainly a local landmark of sorts. The red block used to construct the building is [[Jacobsville Sandstone]], a locally quarried stone from the town of [[Jacobsville, Michigan|Jacobsville]].<ref name=":4" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ss.sites.mtu.edu/cca/hancock-town-hall-and-fire-hall/|title=Hancock Town Hall and Fire Hall|date=1899-10-31|website=Copper Country Architects|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-18}}</ref> * [[Old Main, Suomi College|'''Old Main''']], the first building of Suomi College (later Finlandia University) serving as dorms, classes, and offices.

The Hotel was also witness to the kidnapping of [[Western Federation of Miners]] [[trade union]] President [[Charles Moyer]] and his counterpart-bodyguard Charles Tanner during the close of the [[Copper Country strike of 1913β14|Copper Country Strike of 1913β14]].<ref name=":27" /><ref name=":26" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":25" />
