A view of the St. Croix River.
The Water Street Inn. 
I stayed at the Water Street Inn while working in Stillwater, MN. The building was originally The Lumber Exchange Building and it was built in 1890 by Stillwater's lumber barons during the boom years of logging on the St. Croix River. The building was built by the Union Depot & Transfer Company on the first modern business block in the city. It continued to be an important building in Stillwater for more than 100 years. Upon its debut in 1890, it was equipped with modern heating, plumbing, electricity, and even had an elevator, one of the first in the state.
Its early occupants included the famous and wealthy lumber merchants from the Stillwater area. The site features ten, large walk-in vaults, which were used to house the wealth of the rich lumber families. The first floor of the building contained storefronts, a post office, a barbershop, and an upscale saloon . The east side of the building was connected to the train depot by raised wooden platforms and a shed.
When lumbering declined around 1900-1910 the building became the home for lawyers, real estate offices, insurance firms, Chamber of Commerce and also latter-day lumber firms such as Consolidated Lumber Company, Inter-State Lumber Co., and American Railway Express Co.
In March of 1994, three local Innkeepers worked closely with the Minnesota Historical Society and National Trust to restore the building's historical qualities. The cement block grocery store was quickly demolished and the hotel addition began. The Water Street Inn opened their doors to the public in November 1995.
Although it was fun to say I spent two nights sleeping in a historic building, I would have been more comfortable in a modern hotel. Ironically, Ken was in Dallas, TX for work at the same time I was in Stillwater, and he also spent the night in a historic hotel. My hotel was older. I think his was only 100 years old!
