In what year was The Walking Horse Hotel built?

1917. Spent many nights there before they sold all the pictures.

I remember the first night we stayed at the Hotel. It was coming a bad thunderstorm that night and when we pulled up in front of the Hotel, my wife said we were not going to stay there because it looks Haunted. My son was also scarred. He never left my side. I finally talked her into going in. We stayed on the second floor in the Suite. It was the one that had a bathtub inside the room. Had one 100 watt bulb in the entire room. I loved it!!! The killer was, no bell boy. Those stairs were steep. We finally got settled in and went to sleep and about 1:00 AM that blame train came thru and shook the entire hotel and we thought it was a Tornado. Never will forget it. Man, did they have some good grub. That home made butter was great on those home made biscuits!!!!!!!!

I understand there is only 7 rooms for rent. I would have thought there would have been more, but at second glance, it's not really that large is it? Don't know about the haunted stuff, but this is interesting......

I saw a special a couple of years ago on News Channel 5 that said the hotel was haunted. I just watched the Youtube and still have cold chills.
