| Biography/History | "At the north end of the block is the Gardner Hotel, built in 1908 from plans by the Hancock Brothers. It is the most elaborate Classical Revival structure in downtown Fargo. Note the paired bricketed metal cornice and foliated metal frieze, the brick quoins at the corners of the walls, the stone balustrade over the Roberts Street enterance, and the egg and dart trim at the tops of the corner piers above the first story."
