Above is a rare old scene of the Hardy Hotel in West Point, Hardin County, Kentucky, ca. 1900. Guests were waiting for the train at this railroad hotel which was owned by the Hardy family. The railroad station used by the Illinois Central Railroad and The Louisville, Henderson, & St. Louis Railroad was located across the street from the hotel.​

It's across the tracks from Rhonda's. I can say that the hotel looks exactly as it does in this picture. Hasn't changed in 100 years.
