Abstract:

In 1911, the Vance Hotel in Henderson opened at the exact geographic center of town. People came from all over the East Coast to eat at the hotel; traveling troupes of actors would often spend the night there; but traveling salesmen were the biggest source of business. The Vance Hotel closed in 1977 but was recently bought by the Lighthouse Christian Fellowship, which uses it for its central offices and as a counseling center.
