Hotel Granwood is a 4 story, 80 unit residential hotel. A Metrotimes article mentioned that (*1) the building was destroyed by a fire in 2000. It remains abandoned in 2009

Exterior

A ghost sign on the east side still proclaimed “Hotel Granwood, Air Conditioned/Color TV”. The front of the building is separated into 2 parts. The bottom is a beige yellow color and the section above is brown brick with granite surrounding the windows. A jumble of charred remains and debris left by the fire can be seen clearly in the front entrance.
