This past week, the Superior Telegram released its 22nd episode of Archive Dive.
For this month’s episode we explore the history of a couple of hotels. The Hotel Superior reigned supreme as the place to stay, until the Androy Hotel came along.
Telegram reporter Maria Lockwood is joined by local historian and retired librarian Teddie Meronek as they look back on what gave the Hotel Superior its edge, the community fundraising campaign that built the Androy Hotel and the notable people connected to both.
The Hotel Superior opened in 1889, with an addition added in 1892. It was located on Tower Avenue where the Superior Public Library now stands. The Androy Hotel opened in 1925 and is still operating today.

In case you missed last month’s episode, we are resharing it here. In October, Maria was joined by Doug MacDonald as well as Brian Finstad, both of the Gordon-Wascott Historical Society, as they discussed the unsolved 1897 murder of Joseph Blackburn. It is titled Gold, a coffin and an unsolved murder near Gordon.
