The Merchant’s Hotel, owned by N.A. Jones, was opened in 1893 on the corner of Elm and Third streets. The hotel was purchased in 1903 by Angus Wilton McLean and S.A. Edmund. They remodeled the property, opening it as The Waverly Hotel. The Waverly was torn down in 1913 to build the Bank of Lumberton, which was later known as Southern National Bank. This photo was taken circa 1905. Photo courtesy of the Robeson County History Museum.
