Hendee Hotel


The Hendee Hotel is a historic hotel building in Cozad, Nebraska. It was built in 1879 for John J. Cozad, the founder of the city of Cozad. One of his sons, Robert Henri, became a painter. Cozad shot a man in 1882, and he sold the hotel to Stephen A. Hendee, who remained its owner until 1910. From 1883 to 1885, it was rented to A. K. Maryott, whose son was painter Miles Maryott. The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 21, 1979.
