Originally called the Planter House and later renamed The Capital Hotel in 1871 its 54 rooms opened for lodgers in early 1869. Renovations were made to the original structure in both 1879 and 1902. Pilot properties began a major rehabilitation of the building in 2007, including a seismic retrofit and expansion that has given the Capital Hotel new life as a mixed use complex including a restaurant, offices and residential units.
