who owns the alluvian hotel in greenwood ms
Fred Carl, Jr. When seeking a location for Viking's corporate headquarters in Greenwood in 1986, Carl decided to lease space in abandoned downtown buildings, not only due to the highly attractive price of these underutilized buildings, but also to try and rejuvenate the central business district of his beloved hometown. Over the ensuing fifteen years, Viking acquired and restored over twenty buildings in the downtown Greenwood historic district. In 2001, Viking acquired the abandoned Hotel Irving, which was originally constructed in 1917, to accommodate the increasing numbers of dealers and distributors who were coming to Viking for training and new product introductions. After an extensive restoration spanning two years, Viking reopened the hotel as The Alluvian Hotel and Spa on May 1, 2003, having transformed the derelict, abandoned, downtown eyesore into a fifty-room luxury boutique hotel. Soon thereafter, Viking also established the Viking Cooking School across the street from The Alluvian.
