Last June the hotel was nom inated for placement on the National Register of Histori cal Places and was entered in the register last October. The hotel's historic signifi cance isn't too apparent to the passerby. The large building has been standing since 1919. and the exterior hasn't changed much over the years; however, the history of the hotel itself tells much of Hep pner's history. Shortly after the town of Heppner formed, hotels began playing a vital role in the town's economy. In 1873. a mail and stage line was established between Pendleton and The Dalles which passed through Hep pner. Later, much livestock, wool and wheat were shipped from the town. During this time, before the automotive age, travelers needed a place to stay. A hotel was a place to eat. get a haircut, sleep and be entertained. The City Hotel was built in Heppner in 1877 and was des troyed in the 1903 flood. The grand Palace Hotel was built in 1891 and was destroyed by fire in 1918 along with 16 other 0 PUBLIC NOTICES) si OREGON CIRCUIT COURT FOR MORROW COUNTY PROBATE DEPARTMENT No. 1901 NOTICE TO INTERESTED PERSONS In the Matter of the Estate of CLARENCE C.

D businesses and over 30 resi dential buildings. The community worked to rebuild the business district, and realizing the urgency for another large hotel, began plans to have one built. In June of 1919, plans drawn by John V. Bennes, a well known Portland architect, were approved for a modern, first-class hotel. He also drew plans for the Heppner Elks Lodge that same year. Con struction of the building began in November, 1919 by Lou Traver of the firm Traver and Snook. This firm also built the Heppner Elks Lodge. W.th a shortage of mate rials, high prices, a shortage of labor and World War I. steps were taken to keep building costs at a minimum. The plans also included sev eral features to make the building as fireproof as possi ble. On December 16. 1920. the St. Patrick's Hotel opened under the ownership of Pat Foley of The Dalles as lessee and James Hart as local man ager. After much controversy about the name "Hotel St. Patrick," the name "The Heppner Hotel" was coined The hotel served as a meet ing place for many local or ganizations up until 1972.
