An early proprietor, H. (Henry) C. Vincent, and his family experienced the full circle of life at the hotel. Moving to Prescott from Williams, he took over the Congress House on October 10, 1901.
When the Congress Hotel burned down on July 12, 1923, a Prescott landmark was gone, but its history and the memories of the people who lived and visited there were not extinguished.
Prescott has a number of excellent golf courses. But in 1919, another little-known course existed for Army personnel, convalescing patients, and others.
