Hotel Weiser – after moving the hotel to north of the Train Depot

After the Old Town fire destroyed the original Weiser City Hotel in 1890, it was rebuilt with brick.

C.W. Townley has sold the Hotel Weiser to Sterns & Bostwick, late of Baker City. We did not learn the consideration. These gentlemen will make it equal to any in the state.

Then as the ravished city started rebuilding at a new location, in the first block north of the Train Depot on the Southeast Corner of Commercial & State Streets, the Hotel was moved brick by brick (by Edward M. Barton) and reassembled.

Weiser City Hotel

It was at this hotel that a fire started in May 1890 and consumed much of the eastern half of the town. The fire was started by the fall of a coal oil lamp. “The wind was blowing a gale from the northeast and the whole of the eastern half of the town was in flames within ten minutes. Thirty minutes served to complete the destruction of two blocks on Commercial Street.”

The Idaho Statesman noted: “The people of Weiser, with that courage typical of all Western pioneers, have resolved to rebuild, this time near the Oregon Short Line Depot.”
