Many Idaho natives' grandparents honeymooned at this chateau-inspired hotel. Unfortunately, the hotel's honeymoon days are well over. No longer a hotel, the upstairs rooms are rented as apartments, while the downstairs rooms offer the intimate 10th Street Station and other businesses. Opened in 1901, this building was once the tallest in Idaho and home to the state's first elevator. During the early 1900s, dignitaries such as Teddy Roosevelt, Will Rogers and Clarence Darrow slumbered beneath its roof.

This is a great shot, I have it hanging in my office at work. (One of the perks of having you as my mom :) Fun too that two of your kids spent their respective honeymoons at this same place. A fond memory for sure!
