“Thomas A. Herson, proprietor of the Alhambra Hotel, today concluded negotiations whereby he has leased the Tompkins House, at North Aurora and East Seneca streets of Walter P. Stephens. Mr. Herson, the new proprietor of the former Tompkins House, has been proprietor of the Alhambra eight years. Previous to assuming the management of that hotel he was engaged in the café business in this city seven years.

A number of contemplated improvements and innovations at the New Alhambra are announced by the new proprietor, Mr. Herson. The Tompkins House contains 58 rooms in first class condition and also has a large dining room. Mr. Stephens conducted the hotel in recent years for rooming purposes only, having discontinued the dining room. Mr. Herson intends to make the dining room a feature of the hotel. He also plans to eliminate the bar room on the Seneca street side and to open an all-night restaurant.”
