Weaverville Hotel
The Weaverville Hotel and Emporium was built in 1861 and rebuilt in 1880 after burning to the ground. Originally built at the beginning of the Civil War and at the height of the Gold Rush, the Weaverville Hotel was then called Condon's Saloon. The name was soon changed to the Empire Hotel. It burned to the ground in 1873 and again in 1880. When fire gutted the second floor in 1910, it was not until a change of ownership in 1914 that the upstairs was restored and the hotel resumed full services as a hotel. You can still see the burn marks on the stairs, a result of the 1910 fire. Ghosts? Probably a few at the Champagne tub in Room 1.
