Simonson's+Hotel

End of the Hotel Era. Site of Simonson's Hotel, one of the most prominent hotels in the area, catered especially to those visiting the racetrack. Heavily damaged during the 1895 Cyclone; the barn was completely demolished (some reports described it as having disappeared), while the main hotel's roof was torn completely off.

The track had been closed for over 3 decades and the era of hotels in Woodhaven was coming to an end. The exact date of the closure of Simonson's Hotel is unknown, but there were no newspaper mentions of it after this period.
