The Commercial Hotel in Verdigre, Nebraska, also known as the Verdigre Hotel, is a hotel built in 1900 without indoor plumbing and without gas or electricity, but rather with use of kerosene lamps for lighting. With Verdigre the end of a railroad line and the hub of hog drives, the town needed more hotel space than was supplied by two hotels built previously.[2]
The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] It was deemed to be an "excellent representative of first generation hotels, built between 1854 and 1900" in Nebraska.[2]
