Graves Hotel, historic hotel in Harlowton, Montana, United States

The Graves Hotel was a sandstone building constructed in Harlowton in 1909, located at South Central Avenue. It featured 45 rooms with modern amenities, a second-floor veranda overlooking Musselshell Valley, and distinctive architectural details including a small hexagonal turret and decorative roof features with brackets and a spire.

The hotel was constructed following a fire in 1907 that destroyed much of downtown, prompting the town to require fireproof building materials. As the first structure in the area built from locally quarried sandstone, it became a symbol of the town's recovery and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The hotel's location on South Central Avenue gave visitors easy access to local shops, restaurants, and the town center. Its central position made it a convenient base for exploring nearby rural areas and the open countryside surrounding Harlowton.

The hotel was fitted with about 150 electric lights that created a bright glow at night and made it a visible landmark in town. This extensive lighting was remarkable for its 1909 opening and created a striking presence for travelers and residents.
