HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. — Alissa Keller recently shared the fuller story of Hotel Latham, a grand landmark that once stood in downtown Hopkinsville, during a program at The Crusty Pig restaurant — a business now occupying the site of the historic hotel.

The program, held at the restaurant located where Hotel Latham operated a century ago, offered attendees an opportunity to learn details about the significance of the building to Hopkinsville's downtown district and its role in the city's commercial history.

Keller's presentation aimed to document and preserve the memory of the landmark hotel, which has since been replaced. The Hotel Latham represents an important chapter in the city's architectural and cultural heritage, as downtown Hopkinsville continues to adapt and evolve with new businesses occupying historically significant sites.

The initiative to share the hotel's story reflects broader efforts to maintain connections to local history as communities change. According to the Hoptown Chronicle, the program provided an opportunity for community members to learn about the building's past through the research and presentation of historians dedicated to preserving Hopkinsville's heritage.
