OUR HISTORY
Tucked in an 1876 building that has been lovingly renovated (yes, the floors are original), Oliver Royale is perfectly situated amongst the excitement of lively Market Square. Originally built as the Peter Kern Bakery, the building has hosted everything from Kern's Ice Cream Parlor to a dancing hall (again, those floors tell a story!). In 1982, the upper story was converted into blakely house hotel for guests arriving for the World’s Fair.
