A Look Back at the Hotel's History
The Hotel Wolf was built way back in 1893. It cost about $6,000 to build, which was a lot of money then! A German immigrant named Frederick G. Wolf had it built. He used to own liquor stores in Wyoming.
The hotel first opened its dining room with a big party on New Year's Eve in 1893. The hotel rooms themselves were ready for guests on January 10, 1894.
Frederick Wolf passed away in 1910. Two years later, his wife, Christina, sold the hotel. She sold it to George W. Sisson for $10,000. The Hotel Wolf still operates as a hotel and restaurant today.
