Site of Wintermantel's Miner's Hotel
A large pentagon-shaped structure was built here in 1849. In 1850 it became the Roger's Hotel, one of Coloma's first major hotels. Ownership changed hands several times until 1852 when it became known as Wintermantel's Miner's Hotel. A sign on the balcony advertised in three languages:
Miner's Hotel
Deuches Gasthaus
Pensionate Francaise
Wintermantel moved his Miner's Hotel further south on Main Street in 1861. The fate of the original structure here is unknown. |
