This hotel has disappeared since I was there in 2006. You can tell from my photo that it was on its way out.

Whitewood
During Prohibition, the hotel in Whitewood ran a den of iniquity known as the Snake Room where liquor was illegally served. It still had a thriving bar when I was there last.

What is the oldest hotel you have a picture of? Some of these look like they were back in the 70's. I would love to see more pictures.

I think the oldest SK hotel photo I've come across is the c. 1885 photo in my post about the Commercial Hotel at Maple Creek. I try to include photos in all of my blog posts, and I have done some other "photo essays" in earlier posts. Thanks for your interest!
