Kilby Hotel is a historic hotel building located at High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina. It was built in 1910, and is a three-story, brick building with shops on its first story. It has a shallow bracketed canopy, fine brickwork, and arched windows. The hotel was one of High Point's most important black owned businesses and served predominantly African-American patrons.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] In 2012, the structure was deemed unsafe, and it was demolished in 2014 after two of its walls collapsed in a storm.[3]
