“Completed in 1883, in just under 10 months the massive granite structure became renowned for being the largest single standing structure south of Denver. The Grand Hotel was the Crown Jewel of Silverton and quickly become the pinnacle of luxury in the Southwest.”

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the Grand Imperial Hotel in Silverton, Colorado. I was standing inside next to the grand staircase taking a photo of the street outside.
