In the 1940s, when Major W. Espy was an Alabama state senator and president of the Alabama Bankers Association, he would sometimes stay in this hotel when he had to be in Montgomery. And usually on his trips to the capital, he would take along his son, Watty. I have seen a journal note or something where Uncle Watty mentioned the Jefferson Davis Hotel. Once I find it, I will add it here.
