Abstract:

Hotel Robert E. Lee was built shortly after World War I and hosted many of Raleigh's elite during World War II. A famous portrait of Robert E. Lee that hung in the hotel lobby was rescued by the United Daughters of the Confederacy before the building was razed in 1971. Today, Hyatt House has both the site and the painting.
