The Grand Hotel was
completely destroyed by fire o January 27,1960.
A number of other businesses were also destroyed by the fire. Those
include The Triangle Dress Shop and PW Miller Co. Both were next door and the
either one may have been where the blaze started. Other businesses lost in the
fire were the Grand Barber Shop, Grand Billiard Parlor, Grand Café, Pioneer
Bar, Grand Studio and the S&H Green Stamp Store. Another business, in a
building to the north of the hotel was Minot Roofing and Cornice. One person stated that he had “saved the day”,
referring to his part in the Grand Hotel fire. He maintains that they ran out
of beer at the bar located on 1st street so he made and emergency
trip to the Gamble Robinson ware house. Gamble Robinson was across the street
from the now Rail Road Museum. Being an employee of Gamble Robinson he loaded
up the city delivery vehicle with 100 cases of beer and delivered it to the
bar. Well I guess maybe he did save the day?
