The Hubert-Thom McAn Building, also known as the Eden Hotel, is a three-story brick building at 546 South Broadway that John B. Parkinson designed in 1900 in the Italianate style. It has served in turn as a hotel, offices, and a shoe store in downtown's Broadway Theater District.
the building
Pressed-brick facade. The building is constructed of brick on concrete footings and faced in pressed brick with decorative arched Italianate windows; it originally carried a parapet along the roofline that has since been removed.
the style
Its Italianate details, chiefly the arched windows, reflect a commercial style already dated by 1900, making the building one of the older survivors on Broadway's mostly early-20th-century commercial strip.
