Geiser Grand Hotel

This picture taken of the Geiser Grand Hotel in Baker City, Oregon.  Originally the Warshauer House, the Geiser Grand Hotel was built in 1889 by merchants Harry and Jake Warshauer for a sum of $65,000.  That probably would not even have covered the window costs today.  The Hotel was used as a gathering place for gold miners.  Local mine owner, Al Geiser, purchased the hotel at the turn of the century and did extensive remodeling.  It is was quite interesting to know that what is now the gift shop has a ceiling of stamped tin which  was quite popular during the Victorian era between 1839-1901.
