The Waldorf Hotel was a historic hotel building on Main Street in Andover, South Dakota. It was a three-story orange brick building with a rounded projecting section at the street corner. A single-story porch with turned posts and bracket extended along two sides of the building. The hotel was built in 1903, primarily to serve passengers switching from one railroad line to another. It featured a barber shop, a billiard hall and a huge dining room and reception room. It also acted as a social center in the community, hosting ice cream socials and dances.[2][3]
