RARE of Hamilton Montana ca. 1890-1900 Three loose album pages each containing two wonderful original photographs ! (Photographs are very matte finish - possibly platinum prints) Each image is identified in pencil below the photo: Page's Hotel One of the many roads on the Daily Ranch Ravalli Hotel Crab Apple Tree Bitterroot River - Dailys Bridge on road to Gransdale Size: (image) 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches each Condition: GOOD (Unfortunately each photograph has damage to at least two of the corners. It appears a very careless person lifted them from the album page to see if t was something on the back. The tears are "clean" and could easily be repaired. Please see scans.) Buyer pays $3.00 shipping Online research: Hamilton Montana "Hamilton , perhaps the fastest growing city in Montana , is centrally located in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley along US Highway 93 and the Bitterroot River approximately 45 miles south of Missoula and 47 miles north of the Idaho border at Lost Trail Pass. Hamilton offers the traveler just about all the necessities, if not the amenities, of a large metropolitan city plus easy access to millions of acres of heavily forested public lands and mountains that support almost any form of outdoor recreation that one can imagine. The city was founded in 1890 by Irish immigrant and copper magnate Marcus Daly. Daly bought his 22,000-acre Bitterroot Stock Farm in the area in 1889 and then decided it would be a good idea to have a town nearby. So, Daly brought in planners and laid out and built his city with plots for churches, schools, parks and businesses. Daly later decided his family needed a summer home so he built "Riverside", a mansion and estate that were once a part of the Bitterroot Stock Farm. Today, the Mansion and the fifty acres of grounds surrounding it are owned by the State of Montana, managed by the Daly Mansion Preservation Trust, and recognized as a National Historic Site." Ravalli Hotel "Built by Daly in 1896 for $75,000, the three-story, brick building contained 60 guest rooms, two dining rooms, a barber shop, bar and billiard room and featured luxury on a par with the finest hotels in the United States. Located on the northwest corner of Second and Bedford streets w the city administration building sits today, the Ravalli Hotel existed for 23 years as an elegant oasis in the dusty young timber town of Hamilton, until a fire destroyed the landmark on September 22, 1919."
