"Post removed himself from daily involvement in his factory and turned his attention to other business activities. Remembering his early days as a traveling salesman, when he was at the mercy of bad hotels with worse kitchens, Post decided to build a first class establishment for the commercial traveler. He purchased a block on Main Street (now W. Michigan Avenue) on the edge of downtown Battle Creek and built the Post Tavern which opened in 1901. Post moved his family into a second floor suite and furnished the public rooms of the hotel with his extensive art collection. The hotel boasted the latest features usually found only in big city hosteleries, including connecting baths and telephones in every room."
