The Parker House
The Parker House – Minot’s first hotel was The
Parker House, built in 1886 on the north end of Main Street. It was built by
Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Parker, parents of Clarence Parker. Fire destroyed the
hotel in 1890. In 1896 the Parkers leased the Leland House from the original
owner, Allen Tompkins and bought it from him in 1898. The Leland House was
located on the Southeast corner of Main Street and Central Avenue. It was
Minot’s first brick building and boasted 10 rooms with a bath. The Leland House
also had its own sewer system as the city council back then voted down a
proposal for city sewer.
