The Commercial Hotel, also known as the River Front Hotel, is a historic former hotel building at 123 North 1st Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The three-story hotel is constructed of wood with a mansard roof, third-floor dormers, and wrought iron cresting, which are all characteristic of the Second Empire style. The hotel was built in 1898–99, when Fort Smith was a frontier town at the edge of Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). Following Oklahoma statehood in 1907, the hotel declined in significance and eventually closed.[2] The building now hosts "Miss Laura's Social Club", and serves as Fort Smith's visitors center.
