## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Hotel Holly–Haswell Hotel is a historic district in Haswell, Colorado, containing a two-story hotel, a filling station, a bunkhouse, and a chicken coop.
It was deemed locally significant as one of the first business buildings in Haswell, and was run as a hostelry for 60 years, until it was closed in the 1990's. It is also significant  for association with the Hollingsworth and Rebel and Covalt families, each of which operated the hotel.  The hotel is one example of foursquare architecture, also known as a "prairie cube", a complete kit home which could be purchased thru the major mail order catalogs of the time.
