The American Hotel, a four-story brick building, has been a haven for society's outsiders for over a century. It was originally built in 1905 to provide "first-class accommodations for negroes" and has since been home to writers, musicians, filmmakers, and painters. As gentrification and development rapidly change the surrounding urban environment, the hotel's free bohemian spirit is struggling to survive.
