Description
Built in 1875 as the first Beaverhead County Courthouse in Bannack, Montana - before Montana was even a state! But in February of 1881 the Territorial Legislature called for a special election and voted to move the county seat to Dillon. The building remained empty until about 1890 when it was purchased by Dr. John Christian Meade for $1,250. Dr. Meade remodeled and turned it into a plush hotel. The hotel operated off and on until the 1940's. Sometime during its long history, the building was also used as a makeshift hospital, and manifestations of those who died are said to haunt the hotel to this day. This image looks especially impressive when printed on metal.
