The Waldo Hotel in Clarksburg, West Virginia was built between 1901 and 1904 by Congressman and Senator Nathan Goff, Jr. and named for his father, Waldo P. Goff.[1] It was designed by Harrison Albright.[2]
It originally housed a bank and shops on the first floor with hotel rooms above.[3] Once one of the state's most luxurious hotels and the social center of Clarksburg, the Waldo Hotel was a gathering place for parties, weddings, and civic meetings.[citation needed]
As of 2022, the Waldo Hotel had been empty for 30 years.[4] A non-profit organization hopes to renovate it.[5]
