The History

Following a successful career in the freight business, Louis Wyman built The Wyman Building in 1902 on the same site where his old freighting office had been. The first floor included a mercantile, a gas station, and even housed the town trolly. The second floor of the building was originally designed as a ballroom and lodge hall, with an adjoining banquet room. Both halls were well furnished and equipped with anterooms as well as a lounge for the ladies.

For many years, the top floor was busy with social activities almost every night. The second floor also included two three-room office suites occupied by a dentist office and mining companies.

Over the following century, the building has been lovingly cared for by multiple owners for a multitude of purposes, and we are excited to share the rich history of this building with you today as The Wyman Hotel.

Hotel Amenities

Here in Silverton, we’re lucky enough to enjoy nighttime temperatures in the 40s-50s all summer long. That said, we do not have air conditioning in our rooms, but do have large and operable windows and in-room fans. We have intentionally left televisions out of our room design. We hope you take time in Silverton to step away from the world and enjoy the physical and mental remoteness of our mountain town.

The majority of our rooms are on the second floor, and our historic building does not have an elevator. If you require a first floor room, please make sure to reserve a first floor room or call us at 970.799.4952 and we’ll do our best to accommodate you! For cancellations, please see our policies page.
