TULSA, OKLA.—MARCH 22, 2020—TANNINGER COMPANIES ANNOUNCED THE ACQUISITION OF THE LEGENDARY ELKTON HOTEL AND THE PATIO RESTAURANT BRANDS, LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN QUINCY, ILLINOIS, FROM OWNERS KIM AND MARK NEISWENDER.
BOTH BUSINESSES, WHICH HAVE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF QUINCY FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, WILL EXPERIENCE A REBIRTH UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP; RESIDENTS AND GUESTS OF THE ELKTON WILL EXPERIENCE NO INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE, AND THE REIMAGINED PATIO RESTAURANT IS SLATED TO REOPEN THIS FALL. THE NEW OWNERS, RYAN JUDE TANNER AND JAY KROTTINGER OF TANNINGER COMPANIES, HAVE STRONG PERSONAL TIES TO QUINCY, AND A LOVE FOR THE PROPERTIES’ HISTORY. THE ELKTON HOTEL WAS BUILT IN 1924 AS A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT BY LOCAL ARCHITECTS MARTIN GEISE AND HARVEY CHATTEN AS THE NEW HOME FOR THE ELKS CLUB. IN 1949, THE UPPER FLOORS WERE CONVERTED INTO A HOTEL AND THE STRUCTURE WAS REBRANDED AS THE ELKTON HOTEL. THE ELKTON IS NOW HOME TO 54 APARTMENTS. PRIOR TO THE POPULAR PATIO RESTAURANT OPENING IN THE MID 50S, THE SPACE SERVED AS A PRIVATE NIGHT CLUB CALLED THE TERRACE ROOM. |
