Caption: Hotel Nipton (shown below in 1939)
Additional Description: On Kiosk about 30 feet north of Nipton Marker:

Built between 1904 and 1910 to serve as a stopover for the railroad, local lore holds that the hotel was originally constructed out of railroad timbers and rammed earth. By 1918, it had seen enough wear and tear to be described as "old" by guest Roy Port of Ivanpah Valley. Harry Trehearne repaired the Hotel Nipton in 1924 and hosted an eclectic clientele. The Freeman family refurbished it again in 1985, and now operates a bed and breakfast at this retreat to simpler times.
