Old Jarrell Hotel to be Razed for Modern Building
The Old Jarrell hotel in High Point near the Southern station will be razed to make way for a new modern building. Once a bustling stage and store hub dating to the 1860s, the two story frame structure now houses shoe shops and fruit stands. The Dyer brothers own the property, which fronts South Main street, and three store rooms are planned to attract renewed city appeal.
