EOLA HOTEL

-A A +A
1926–1927, Weiss, Dreyfous and Seiferth; 1980–1982 rehabilitated, Perez Associates, with Charles Moore. 110 N. Pearl St.

The seven-story Eola Hotel designed by a New Orleans firm was built for the Natchez Investment Corporation headed by Leon M. Levy and Isidore Levy, for whose daughter the hotel was named. The newspaper described the hotel as a “Colonial adaptation of the Georgian period, the walls being faced in fire flashed Colonial press brick ornamented with stone trimmings, cornices, and urns.” The top floor, two stories in height, accommodated an auditorium and a ballroom, and the building concluded with a roof garden. The lobby, two-stories in height, is encircled by a mezzanine on three sides and features paneled pilasters and Composite box columns. The Eola is currently closed.
