128 winter's

Post by Don Fischer » Thu Jan 01, 2009 9:53 am

That's what I'm told this old hotel in town has withstood. Built in 1880, it was the only survivor of a fire at the turn of the century that destroyed the town. I've taken a few picture's of it over through years but never got one I liked very well before. Well this one I like. Kind of like an old man with snow on the roof!

I was playing cards down the cafe tonight and the guy that owns this building was there. Asked him just when it was built and he has paper work it was built in 1865. It's one of Oregon's oldest buildings! That makes it 143 yrs old. It was the first building built in Antelope and the only one that survived the fire at the turn of the century.
