The Central Hotel, corner of Fourth street and Bruce avenue, is a very popular place for visitors in Grand Forks. The popular proprietor, Mr. M. L. Adams, came to Grand Forks in 1880, and has been engaged in the hotel business here ever since. He enjoys a wide acquaintance among the traveling public. The Central is a very popular stopping place for farmers and others visiting the city. While the rates are only $1.00 per day, the table is supplied with the best the market affords, and the house has recently been refitted throughout, is heated by hot air, and is equipped with gas and electric light and other modern conveniences. There is a good stable in connection with the house. (City of Grand Forks Illustrated, William L. Dudley, The Herald, Printers and Binders, Grand Forks, 1897, Page 64)
