The Heppner Hotel, owned
by Arnie and Rita Hedman of
Heppner, holds a lot of Hep
pner's history within its walls.
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

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.

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

Several offices were housed
on the main floor of the hotel
over the years. The hotel's
main floor presently houses a
barber shop, tavern, optome
trist's office, a television cable
office, a fabric, furniture and
floor covering store, and a
three-room apartment. The
second story consists of two
apartments and the third floor
is vacant.
Future plans for the hotel
include preserving the historic
aspects of the building and yet
utilizing it to the fullest extent.
The Hedmans purchased the
hotel in 1975 from Esther Van
Den Biesen Now that the
building is listed in the regis
ter, the Hedmans are eligible
for substantial federal and
state benefits. These benefits
include: federal grants for
upgrading and historical pre
servation, property tax
"freeze" of true cash value for
15 years, waivers of some code
requirements to preserve his
torical value, federal 25 per
cent investment tax credit and
low cost federal funds.
So the next time you pass by
the Heppner Hotel, take a
closer look, maybe you'll find
a piece of history you've never
noticed before.
