Geiser Grand Hotel
The Geiser Grand Hotel is a historic hotel in Baker City, Oregon, that opened in 1889. It received a restoration and reopened in 1993 after closing in 1968. Decorations include mahogany columns up to a high ceiling, Victorian-style chandeliers, and a stained glass ceiling. It was known as "the Queen of the Mines" during Gold Rush times and described as being the finest hotel between Portland, Oregon and Salt Lake City with the third elevator built west of the Mississippi River.〔Joseph B. Frazier (Town Hopes Its Past Ushers in New Gold Rush ); Baker City, Ore., harkens back to its rough-and-tumble roots. Officials are spending millions to restore it.

==Architecture==
The hotel was built in an Italianate Victorian architecture style designed by architect John Bennes,〔()〕〔Lisa Britton (A grand tour from a history buff ) ''Baker City Herald'' July 01, 2009〕 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property within the Baker Historic District.〔http://heritagedata.prd.state.or.us/historic/index.cfm?do=v.dsp_siteSummary&resultDisplay=28026〕 Originally named Hotel Warshauer for hotel proprietor Louis F Cook. the hotel opened in November 1889. According to Oregon Encyclopedia, Bennes made "modifications" to the hotel and didn't arrive in Baker until 1900. An original postcard of the hotel states that the hotel was built and owned by the Baker Brothers. According to the Oregonian newspaper, Mr. Geiser bought the hotel in 1900 and in 1901 planned "another story" (which obviously was not built), a reconstructed interior, and the installation of all the latest conveniences and appliances. The hotel was renamed and reopened on January 1, 1902 with the name Geiser Grand Hotel. Information on what modifications Bennes made has not been found, all sources give Bennes complete credit for the building.
