This cute courtyard of Rizzo's Restaurant once housed the Winona Hotel, which was built in 1914. IN 1939 it became The Arcade Hotel and reamined opened until 1969, right around the time Union Station across the street closed.   Each of its 39 rooms had a fireplace but there was a common bathroom for each floor.

The decaying hotel was featured prominently in the 1989 movie "Mystery Train" and was demolished in 1993, shortly after the completion of the film. You can see the hotel in its final days in the background of the movie poster.
