The Sperling Hotel was built by Albert Sperling in 1913, the building was originally named the Lerona Hotel after Sperling's two daughters Leona and Rowena. The Sperlings came from North Dakota in 1910 and settled one and one half miles north of Independence where they operated a meat market and slaughter house. The hotel was a very prominent structure in town and had a bank, dining room, lobby, baker and sample room on the first floor. It was also equipped with steam heat. By 1925 the hotel was under the management of Moss Walker, a prominent citizen in the area, and was renamed the Beaver Hotel. The building has housed numerous businesses over the years and is still a prominent building in town. (Haunted Independence by Marilyn Morton) In 1913 the hotel is purchased by W.J.
