The Gilpin Hotel, one of Black Hawk’s newer buildings, was built in 1896 by Julius Kline or Klein, replacing an earlier wood building that had been the site of Black Hawk’s first school. It operated sporadically throughout the 20th century under a variety of owners, notably Otto and Ruth Blake, and its Mine Shaft Bar in the basement was a local landmark.
