Nostalgia & History > Salida Palace HotelDate: 06/23/11 05:26 Salida Palace Hotel Author: flynn Date: 06/23/11 05:27 Re: Salida Palace Hotel Author: flynn I have a fondness for the Palace Hotel in Salida. My Dad in his diary describes a trip to Salida on Sunday, February 29th, 1920, to have an examination of his stomach at the Denver and Rio Grande [Western] Railroad Hospital. The results were that his stomach was ok.
The following excerpts are from the pages of my Dad’s diary. Monday, March 1st, 1920 [Diary page 257.] A good night of rest in a new bed – Palace Hotel. Thursday, March 4th, 1920 [Diary page 260.] Called upstairs at 11 am to swallow the “garden hose” – some joke. Friday, March 5th, 1920 [Diary page 261.] After breakfast went down to the depot to see the “Little Train” arrive. “Some sight.” [The little train was most likely the narrow gauge train from perhaps Gunnison.] Picture 2 is CHS.X5135 enlarged 25%.

This appears to be the most likely candidate. Date: 06/23/11 07:24 Re: Salida Palace Hotel Author: flynn Thanks for posting the above information. John.
