The Stephens Hotel has some amazing old details such as signs, letters, books, throws, etc. While I’m not sure if this little piece of paper is original to the building, my guess is that it is. It reads, “Checking Out Time 2 pm on the Day of your Departure.” There’s also a neat sign in …
This is a shot of the mine elevator in the Orphan Girl at the World Museum of Mining. Thanks again to the WMOM and Logan for touring me around in the touring areas and other, non-touring areas. I had a blast!
This sign is on the side of the Butte Water Company building on Granite Street. I had a police car flash me with his spot light once and a few other cars drive by. I think they realized I was taking photos rather than causing nuisance.
I wonder how this motel did back when it was still open. Now the doors and windows are boarded up, but there was still a car parked in front of it. So I’m wondering if someone lives there. The colors of the sign reminded me of the 70s/80s, so I adjusted the color of the …

This is an old sign on the east end of Broadway Street for a custom carpet store.
This photo of a “Trail Crossing” sign was taken uptown near the Kelly Mine, just off of the walking path that leads through the old tunnel. I had my flash connected to my camera with a sync chord. The camera was in my right hand and the flash in my left. At one point a …
