Marker Name: C8 - Colonial Inn (Original Pilot Butte Inn)
Marker Text: Built by A.C. Lucas in 1904 at the corner of Wall Street and Newport Avenue, the Colonial Inn began life as the Pilot Butte Inn. It was moved north of its original site in 1916 to make room for a new, larger Inn and was re-named the “Colonial Inn.” It was again moved in the late 1920s to make room for the Wall Street addition to the second-generation Pilot Butte Inn. This addition eventually stretched almost an entire city block along Wall Street. The Colonial Inn was finally condemned by the city fire marshal in 1968 and torn down.
Built: 1904
