Clayton to receive new hotel

The old building formerly used for a department store is receiving a complete overhaul as new owners plan to turn it into a new hotel/lounge area.

Last week, Clayton City Council officials were briefed on what the new owners of the previous Cannon’s Department Store Building have in store for the community.

The building, which is located at 51 North Main Street, was purchased by Cahill and Associates.

Rick Brown an associate of the firm, informed city officials that he and his wife hope to model the new business after former Old Edward’s Inn.

Extensive renovations are currently underway but Brown hopes to see the completion of the project within the coming year(s).
