Spearman bought the hotel in 1918 with plans to modernize it, and by 1923, the name had changed to the National Hotel. By the 1940's, Mr. Wiseman bought the hotel and called it the Wiseman Hotel.   The Wiseman Hotel site is now part of the parking lot of the Newberry County Court House on College Street.
