Article marking the 100th year of the Hotel Muehlebach at 12th and Baltimore. First opened in May 1915 on the former site of the old First Baptist Church, the 500-room, 12-story, $2 million hotel quickly became a social epicenter for locals and visitors alike, and remained so through the mid-20th century. The hotel's elegant decor, various restaurants, musical entertainment, and high service standards attracted famous names such as Helen Keller, Bob Hope, The Beatles, Theodore Roosevelt, and Harry Truman. The guest rooms are no longer in use, but the hotel's public spaces are frequently booked for events, and most of the areas have been preserved as they originally appeared.
