Built by William Burber in 1863, the Lewiston Hotel served as a hotel, bar and stage stop. Originally closer to the river, it burned in 1897 and was rebuilt on its present site in 1899 by Johnny Koll. It continued as a hotel until its closure in 1939. It reopened in 1955 and was a popular drinking and dining spot during the construction of the Trinity and Lewiston Dams. It remains one of the oldest buildings still in use in the Lewiston area.
