JANESVILLE, Wis. – After sitting vacant since the 1990s, Janesville’s historic Monterey Hotel has plans to open once again- this time, as luxury apartments.
Built in the 1930s to provide short term lodging for those traveling along the nearby rail line, the Monterey Hotel was an example of Art Deco design. It’s popularity soared through the 50s and 60s, with the hotel’s three bars and 100 plus rooms drawing the likes of Jackie and John Kennedy.
“It’s really kind of a gem to the community and cornerstone to the downtown area,” said Tim Maahs of the Rock County Historical Society. “When you lose these structures, they’re gone forever.”
