Mrs. Brinkman to Build Hotel (Jan 1903)

Unimproved property is selling at high prices in Bemidji.   Mrs. M. E. Brinkman purchased three lots at the corner of 3rd and Bemidji Avenue for $9,000.  This property is said to be the choicest hotel property in northern Minnesota, having a frontage upon the boulevard of 140 feet, and facing 75 feet upon 3rd street.  It is the intention of Mrs. Brinkman to erect upon these lots this summer a three-story brick hotel building, costing $25,000.  (Pioneer, Jan 22, 1903)
