The San Carlos Hotel (also know as ‘The Gray Lady of Palafox’, in that the structure sat on Palafox Street) opened in 1910 and thrived for many decades. As with many multi-story hotels of the later 1800s & early 1900s across Florida, the advent of the roadside motel took it’s toll on occupancy.  The hotel struggled as a low rent place for residences to it’s end in 1982. The building was demolished in 1993. It is now the site of a U.S. Courthouse.
