Thomas J. Rowe built the The Don CeSar Hotel and opened in 1928 to much fanfare. Rowe named the grand 10-story hotel after the knight in the opera, Maritana. The Don was later purchased by the US government during WW II as a hospital and rehab facility for vets. A hotel investor by the name Bowman bought the Don in the 70's and saved the historic DonCeSar from the wrecking ball. His renovation kept the Don out of disrepair until the Loews Corp bought the hotel and current operate it.

George Henry Lizotte was Pass-A-Grille's first postmaster and hotelier opening the called the Bonhomie.
