The story
The hotel dates to the first years of the 1900s, when Wallace was the supply and county seat of the Coeur d’Alene lead-silver district. A 1933 fire gutted it and destroyed the frame Tabor building next door. Spokane architect G. A. Pehrson then redid the hotel for owner Sarah Gearon and designed the new Tabor block, giving both the terra cotta Art Deco trim the nomination ranks among the finest on commercial buildings in Idaho. It stands in the 600 block of Cedar Street.
