Originally it was called Grant's Hotel but the name was soon changed to the St. James. The original 72 rooms were later expanded to 150. The hotel boasted that the full views of the river afforded pleasure and comfortable temperatures, the presence of electricity and proximity to the boat dock at the foot of Main Street.
