Description
"Antlers Hotel Sign, Baker City, Oregon" by Catherine Sherman.
Now closed, the Antlers Hotel in Baker City, Oregon, still displays its advertisements on its red brick exterior. The Antlers Hotel was a busy three-story hotel in the early days of the 20th Century. The hotel had an elevator, fine restaurant and bar. A fourth floor was added in 1910 but after the addition the owners went bankrupt. During World War II, a small Sky Watch structure was built on the roof to watch for airplanes. Later the first floor was converted to retail and office space and the upper floors became apartments.
The hotel is at the northwest corner of Washington and First streets, in the Baker City Historic District. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Baker City is a city in and the county seat of Baker County, Oregon, United States. It was named after Edward D. Baker, the only U.S. Senator ever killed in military combat. He died in 1861 while leading a charge of 1,700 Union Army soldiers up a ridge at Ball's Bluff, Virginia, during the American Civil War.
