12305 Immediately you are drawn towards the Masonic Lodge on the
south side of the street. |
|
The building was built in 1874. The top floor served as the lodge and
ground floor housed the grade school. |
|
|
 |
|
12305 There is our favorite - the Hotel Meade. |
|
The building was built in 1875 and was the County Seat of Beaverhead County
but fell into disuse in the late 1880's. |
|
In 1890 Dr. John Singleton Meade converted the empty building into a hotel. |

12305 Don't miss the opportunity to go into the Meade building.
The spiral wooden staircase is still impressive. |
|
|
 |
|
Standing
on the front porch of the Hotel Meade you can see why it was the center of
Bannack's social activity. |
|
The Hotel operated off and on until the 1940's. |

12305 Next door to the Meade is "Skinners Saloon." |
Here's a peek through the glass window. |
