The Shawnee Hotel, now called Shawnee Place, is a historic building in Springfield, Ohio. It is located on Main and Limestone Streets and at eight stories was the tallest building in Springfield when it was built in 1916-1917. It included such innovations as in-room plumbing, meeting rooms, and banquet facilities.[2]
The hotel was in operation through the 1960s when converted to a residential hotel. It later was vacant until 1985, when it was converted to senior housing.[3] The building was renovated again in 2009, and in 2012 became senior living apartments managed by Episcopal Retirement Homes.[4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 1985.[1]
