Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Offered is a photo postcard showing the “New” Calumet Hotel in Pipestone Minnesota. The name "Calumet" is the one French fur traders gave to ceremonial pipes used by American Indians. The stone (pipestone) used to create these pipes is still quarried at the nearby Pipestone National Monument. The first grand hotel was located one block north of the present structure and was destroyed in two hours Dec. 15, 1886 by fire. Townspeople wanted a grand hotel to serve the trains which were the lifeblood of the early community. The new Calumet Hotel would include 50 rooms in three stories and cost $30,000. Construction began in the spring of 1887 on the 50x100-foot building. The grand opening was Thanksgiving Day in 1888. I found a postcard with this same image dated 1910. This has no stamp box so it is hard to date. Unposted and very clean.
