- Lovelander Hotel
(Also Known as Elks Lodge and Plaza Apartments)
103 East 4th Street
The Lovelander Hotel was erected in 1912-13, replacing an aging wood frame hotel, The Loveland House, which had been in this location since 1878. After a $40,000 remodel in the summer of 1913, the hotel reopened to feature such modern conveniences as steam heat, telephone service, and hot and cold water piped to each of its forty-two guest rooms. Soon after World War I, the business suffered a decline and by 1926 was up for sale. Elks Lodge No. 1051 purchased the building in 1927 and remodeled the interior. Around the same time, a three-story, east side addition was constructed to continue housing the residential
hotel. The name changed to the Plaza Apartments in the 1970s.

| Notes |
- Vivian Joyce's mother, Clara, did not approve of this marriage. When Chester moved to Texas to find work in the oil fields (it was @1943, and work was scarce in Loveland), Clara made sure that Vivian Joyce (Joy) never got the letters he was sending her. Joy thought that Chester had abondoned her and, eventually, got a divorce. In the meantime, along came their daughter, Carol Ann, born 1/11/1943. Joy was about 20 years old at the time. According to Carol Ann, Joy spent the rest of her life getting married and divorced. Carol Ann lived back and forth between Joy and her new husbands, and her grandparents, Clara and Earl Foster. Carol Ann said that Joy did get pregnant again, but fell down the stairs, lost the baby, and could never have children again. According to Carol Ann, she did have a "very happy" childhood and loved both her mom and her grandparents, and enjoyed the opportunity of living with both of them. Carol Ann said she was never allowed to meet her father's {Chester Miller's) parents, Cobert and Mae Miller, who lived in Loveland a short distance from her grandparents, Clara and Earl's house. According to her she was told nothing about them until after Clara, whom Carol Ann says her mother referred to as "The Dictator", had died. After Clara's death, Carol Ann says Earl arranged for her to meet them when she (Carol Ann) was in town for a funeral. They told her she had 2 half brothers, one in Austin, TX, and the other stationed in the USAF at Moffett Field 30 miles south of San Fransico, where Carol Ann was living at the time. Carol Ann was 33 at the time. According to Carol Ann, she was "laying in a bubble bath, with the phone beside her, when she got a call saying 'Hi, I'm your long lost brother, Mack'". They met a few days later and went out for lunch. According to Carol Ann they looked a lot alike, and had many of the same likes. Carol Ann wrote that Mack had told her he expected her to look like a "fat housewife". Around 1991, Mack flew Carol Ann to Corpus Christi, TX. to stay with him for 4 days and his brother, Patrick, came down from Austin, TX. and spent a couple days with them.
