Metropolitan Hotel, St Paul

Constructed in 1869-70, the Metropolitan Hotel once stood at the corner of Washington and Third Street in St. Paul. On June 27, 1870, proprietor Gilbert Dutcher opened the hotel in grand style and for many years the Metropolitan was identified as St. Paul's premier hotel. Prominent local businessmen and out-of-town movers and shakers would meet at the hotel to discuss business and politics.
