Alamo Apartments

The Alamo Apartments at 322 S Main St in Lamar is a 23-apartment building.

Grand fanfare surrounded the opening of the Alamo in 1936, with more than 2,000 guests touring the 54 guest rooms, men’s club, women’s (card) salon, and restaurant. In its earliest days, hotel guests were greeted by bellhops, their luggage unpacked into guest room dressers, and the bags tucked into the basement baggage room. Some of Lamar’s very oldest residents of Lamar reminisce about Sunday dinners at the Alamo’s restaurant.…a kind of semi formal dinner-at-the-country-club-with-grandmama scene.

The distinguished Tuscan architecture stands tall (3 stories) across from the Prowers County Courthouse. In the mid-1980s, the property was converted by the Housing Authority into senior residences. AC and an elevator was added. Another 15 years passed, and the building again became privately-owned.
