001515106 520__ $$aLooking down and across at the Hotel McCurdy Hotel (tallest building shown) at t 101-111 SE 1st St. Built on the site of the St. George Hotel (1874-1915), the McCurdy opened for business in 1917. In its heyday this was quite a magnificent and popular place, with a ballroom on the top floor. It overlooks the Ohio River. The hotel closed in 1969 and the building fell into some disrepair after being used as a retirement home and a nursing home. It has recently (2017) reopened as luxury apartments. Immediately next to that is the Kingfish restaurant at 1 SE 1st St., at the corner with Locust St. This business opened in October of 1977. It was listed in the 1979 city directory, but not in the 1984. No trace of this exists today. The white building in front of the parking lot is not identified. The oxbow bend in the Ohio River is partially visible here.
