Baker City in Baker County, Oregon — The American West (Northwest)
Antlers Hotel
Baker City Historic District
— Established 1874 —
In 1910, a fourth story was added to make the Antlers even more “first class.” Unfortunately, after the addition the owners went bankrupt. During World War II, a small structure was built on the roof for volunteers to man a Sky Watch Operation to report airplanes flying over the local area. Later in the century, the first floor was converted to retail and office space and the upper stories became apartments.
