Photographer: Andrew Ruppenstein
Taken: June 28, 2008
Caption: The St. George Hotel
Additional Description: Built in 1862, 3 stories, constructed of 14-inch brick to make it more fireproof than its two predecessors, the Eureka (1851), and the Empire (1859), which unfortunately had not been quite so fireproof. B.F. George constructed the hotel, and named it the 'St. George' to thwart the 'demonic fire dragon', it is said. In addition to the saloon, the hotel has 12 rooms with shared baths, a restaurant, and an outdoor patio and gardens.
