Site of Oaks Hotel

The Board of Trade pushed for a tourist hotel to be built in Bartow, resulting in the formation of the Bartow Hotel Company in 1902. It built the Oaks Hotel in 1904-07, and hired J.T. Stapleton as its first manager. During the 1920s, it was remodeled into the New Oaks Hotel. It closed for good on April 1, 1971, and was torn down in 1974 to make room for this city parking lot.
