- Nogal-Ping Hotel
- The Nogal-Ping Hotel as it appeared in 1997. Formerly located at 104 Capitol Street in Eagle, the Nogal-Ping Hotel was owned by Otis and Minnien Ping. "Otis and Minnie Ping bought the Nogal Hotel in 1923. The Pings expanded the commercial operation by adding two wings out back and several detached motel units. Minnie Ping was an ambitious businesswoman, and Otis was the handyman who did the work. The Pings eventually installed a gas station, featuring a glass-bubble pump. Their son Leonard operated a photography lab in the building. Leonard and his sister Garnett lived on the property for most of their lives." -- Kathy Heicher, Early Eagle p.66
