Description
The Hotel Pontotoc first opened in 1906 as one of Memphis finer European-style hotels, replete with Turkish Bath. By 1920 the Pontotoc was a well known bordello. Actors and musicians filled the guest rooms in the 1930s. The hotel gradually gave way to private residence, but the sign remained above the entrance. The years have taken a toll on the old neon sign. Pontotoc is barely visible beneath the neon hotel letters.
