Daniel Hoffman built the Hoffman Hotel in 1852 at 131 West Main Street
in Dallas, NC, across from the courthouse, shortly after the founding
of the county. With 44 rooms, it was the largest and best known of
several hotels where pioneer politicians, lawyers, judges, businessmen
and farmers stayed while attending county court. It is an excellent
surviving example of the Greek Revival Style.
Today, the building has been restored in its parlors and hotel rooms.
Meanwhile, other rooms in the building are used for special exhibits.
