Willcox Inn Passes Through a Century of Prominence and Change
The Willcox Inn’s transformation traces from its 1a inception to 1920s elite hosting and wartime revival, followed by decline after 1950 and 1970s demolition threats. In 1984 a restoration led by Raphael Jones revived the hotel as Willcox Inn in 1985 with later owner changes and financing woes. Plans for 2001 include 25 rooms, more suites, restored fireplaces, and a revamped restaurant under Garrett Group guidance.
