The St. Nicholas Hotel in Albany, Georgia, at 141 Flint Ave. or 300-310 Washington St., was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]

It was designed by architects Bruce & Everett (a partnership of Alexander C. Bruce and Alexander F. N. Everett) in Early Commercial style. It has also been known as the Lee Hotel.[2]

It originally had a canopy at the front, but this was lost in a tornado on February 10, 1940, and not replaced. The hotel was severely damaged in the tornado, was rebuilt and reopened in 1941 as the Lee Hotel.[2]

It was the birthplace of bandleader Harry James in 1916.[2]
