Description
The Columbia Southern Hotel, also known as the Shaniko Hotel, is a historic hotel located in the ghost town of Shaniko, Oregon, United States. Built by the Columbia Southern Railway in 1900–1902 at the southern terminus of its line, the hotel was and remains the most imposing structure in Shaniko. It was the hub and focal point of the community during the heyday of the local wool industry in the early decades of the 20th century. In addition to lodging, it served as saloon, bank, stagecoach stop, dance hall, and general gathering place.
The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1982 it was additionally listed as a contributing resource in the National Register-listed Shaniko Historic District.
The town of Shaniko is located in Wasco County, Oregon, United States, on U.S. Route 97 and about 8 miles north of Antelope. The population was 36 at the 2010 census.

Thank you Jan. It is always an honour to have your work recognized by your peers, as is the case in juried contests. I took this picture in spring of 2017 on a freezing cold and extremely windy day (my tripod was toppling and teeth chattering) and my destination was hours and hours away. In fact, I was unaware of this very cool town's existence until the road took me through it! The image sat unseen in my computer for the past eleven months; I applied selective color/uploaded it to FAA specifically to be able to enter the group contest. Needless to say I am extremely pleased with the result!
