Timeless Character. Modern Opportunity.

 

The former Historic Rex building blends historic charm with contemporary flexibility, offering a rare chance for both investors and restaurateurs. Its prime location and landmark reputation make it an ideal setting for a signature dining destination, boutique office, or adaptive mixed-use concept. History of the Rex Building: “The Eclectic style hotel was built in 1920 by Alfred Heim, chef for the Buffalo Bill Cody Wild West Show. Bill Cody helped finance the project and was a  frequent visitor to the hotel. You can see the original pressed tin ceiling of the first floor in the present-day Rex Restaurant. The one-story wing to the east was added in 1998”.
