This hotel was named after the famous American short story writer William Sydney Porter who wrote under the pen name O'Henry. Porter was born in Greensboro and in the early 20th century a hotel was erected in his honor. unfortunately the hotel was demolished in 1979 and th 8 story Bellemeade parking deck sits where the building once stood. Here are some rarely seen photos of the old hotel. These photos were taken in 1978.
A new O'Henry Hotel was built 2 miles west of downtown in Friendly Shopping Center during the late 1990s. While its a very nice hotel it lack the old time charm character the old one had.
