The Adams Hotel is a special old building located in Lavina, Montana. It's so important that it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This means it's a historic site worth protecting! The hotel was added to this list on December 6, 2005. It has also been known by other names, like the Lehfeldt Hotel and even the Lavina Lutheran Church. When it was first built, this 22-room hotel was one of the fanciest places to stay in the area. Guests enjoyed comfy linen sheets and soft down comforters.
What Makes the Adams Hotel Special?
The Adams Hotel is a two-story building made of wood. It sits on a strong sandstone foundation. It was built in a style called Colonial Revival. This style often looks back to the designs of early American homes.
Unique Design Features
The building has a unique shape, like a trapezoid. This clever design makes it look like it's perfectly straight and parallel to the nearby railroad tracks.
It has a special roof called a shed roof. Around the south, east, and north sides of the roof, there's a low wall called a parapet. This wall helps hide the roof.
Decorative Touches
On two of these walls, you can see pairs of decorative towers. These towers frame the hotel's painted signs, adding to its classic look.
