Western Hotel, Historic hotel museum in Lancaster, United States
The Western Hotel Museum exhibits historical artifacts including Native American stone tools, mining equipment, and photographs of Lancaster residents from past centuries.
Built in 1888 by the Gilroy family near a Southern Pacific railroad stop, this structure stands as the oldest building in downtown Lancaster.
The large dining room of the Western Hotel served as a meeting place where the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce formed and civic clubs gathered.
