Construction began in 1892, and the Imperial Hotel opened in March 1894.  The building is in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style.  It has also been known as the Wells Building, after one of its builders, George F. Wells.
A major expansion was built in 1909 in the form of a separate building, adjacent, known as the New Imperial Hotel.   At the end of 1949, the two buildings that had comprised the Imperial were made into separate hotels, when the new building was sold.
The original, 1894 building was renamed the Plaza Hotel, while the newer building retained the Imperial name.
