History of the Rex Hotel Building: "The Eclectic style hotel was built in 1920 by Alfred Heim, chef for the Buffalo Bill Cody Wild West Show. Bill Cody helped finance the project and was a frequent visitor to the hotel. You can see the original pressed tin ceiling of the first floor in the present-day Rex Restaurant. The one-story wing to the east was added in 1998".
