The Dacres Hotel in Walla Walla, Washington, is a historic Italianate structure rebuilt in 1899 from the ruins of the city's first brick hotel, the 1873 Stine House. Opened by James E. Dacres, the building is distinguished by its rare pre-fabricated cast iron facade, manufactured by the Mesker Brothers—an exceptional local example of this industrial construction method. Portland architects Bennes, Hendricks & Tobey undertook interior remodeling in 1907. Though largely unaltered on its exterior since reconstruction, the interior has been remodeled multiple times. The building ceased hotel operations in 1959 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Today the ground floor operates as 'The Dacres,' a live music and events venue, while the upper floors remain vacant.
