The Hotel Rockwood building stands on the square's north side. Dr. C.A. Rockwood commissioned it in 1876, making it the oldest building on the square.1 It was constructed by John L. Beagles, the same contractor who built Cottey's Main Hall and Hotel Mitchell. Amazingly, the former hotel is one of the best preserved buildings in Nevada, barring the absence of its eastern section. The building is now occupied by the Thompson-Moore Insurance Agency.
