Keystone Hotel

-A A +A
1904, James and Francis Fetherolf. 219–223 4th St. (northwest corner of Wilcox St.)

This two-story hotel with storefronts, faced with rough rhyolite, has housed saloons, a dance hall, apartments, the Castle Cafe, and Hi's Western Store. The builders, James and Francis Fetherolf, originally operated the hotel and the downstairs saloon, where they discouraged cowboys from riding their horses into the bar. The cornice is gone and, in a 1946 remodeling of the building as apartments, the first-floor windows were sealed up with rhyolite to match the walls.
