The building was built before 1891. It replaced the Western Hotel which burned down in 1890. It consisted of three stories and a basement, with the front spanning about 100 feet. It held 25 bedrooms, a sitting parlor downstairs, a ladies parlour upstairs, and a dining room. In 1900 it became the Armstrong Hotel. The inside was upgraded in 1905 when it was purchased by W. Whyle. In 1907, the stables could hold 75 horses, and the rates were $1-1.50 per day. In 1931 Henry Lang ran the hotel and in the 1950's and 1960's the McEvoy family owned it.

The article accompanying this photograph gives a brief history of the Queen's Hotel, rebuilt after Bradford's great fire of 1871 as Western Hotel. The Western Hotel burned down in 1890, and the structure in the photograph was built soon after. It was owned by William Whyle in 1906.
