The deadliest tornado on record for December swept through Mayfield, Kentucky on December 10, 2021, killing 24 people and destroying homes and businesses.  Among those severely damaged structures was the historic Hall Hotel in Mayfield, next door to FNB’s Mayfield Main Office. Built in 1930, the three-story Hall Hotel was originally constructed to accommodate traveling salesmen and businessmen who came to do business in Mayfield. Later, an additional two floors were added to allow for more occupants as the hotel grew in popularity. Since then, the building has remained mostly the same with minor renovations made over the decades to keep it up to code. Local businesses, like Rita’s Cafe, remained active in the space until the tornado caused severe damage in late 2021.
