The Ensley Hotel was a two-story wood framed hotel constructed on the corner of 19th Street and Avenue E in Ensley in 1887. Originally the guest rooms primarily accommodated potential investors in Colonel Enoch Ensley's real-estate venture. The lobby housed the town's post office as well as billiard tables and a lounge area.
The hotel was demolished around the turn of the century and the property auctioned off to James C. Warner. The site was later sold to Erskine Ramsay and Carr McCormack for their landmark Ramsay-McCormack building.
