Elk Mountain
Inn (102 E. Main Street, Elk Mountain, WY)
This hotel was constructed in 1905. In 1880 a dance hall was built on the property. It became an informal social
center for the community and surrounding areas. Since the dance hall was the only community gathering place within a
50-mile radius, it became an important element of the town. http://www.elkmountainhotel.com/index.html
Mountain View
Hotel (Snowy Range Road and Weber Creek Road, Centennial, WY)
The Mountain View Historic Hotel was built by the Isaac Van Horn-Fred Miller Syndicate as part of the grand plan for Centennial, which included a dance pavilion, a bank, a newspaper office and a polo grounds. The original hotel was painted white with black trim and was built at a
cost of $8,000. It boasted 20 guest rooms, dining room and a “most improved system of plumbing.” The bathrooms, however, ended up in the
stables. It opened in time for the much anticipated arrival of the Laramie Plains, Hahns Peak & Pacific Railroad on July 4th, 1907 and was dedicated in a “golden spike” ceremony. http://www.themountainviewhotel.com/
