The Grand Hotel, constructed in 1887 was demolished in 1987 to construct a new jail facility for Jefferson County. The hotel had been one of the finer examples of architecture in the Victorian "boom town" class.
In this 1920 postcard view of 19th Street, the Grand Hotel can be seen on the left. The Grand was home to one of downtown Bessemer's movie theaters. It was later renamed The Gary Hotel.
