We’re making headlines.

Thank you to Gold Mountain California News for sharing the story of the Colfax Hotel and the Lowery family’s vision for bringing this historic building back to life.

After decades of closed doors, this old hotel is getting another chapter. One built on its history, the people who have loved it, and a community that has never stopped believing in what it could be.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, and we’re excited to bring you along for every bit of it.

Read the story below and follow the restoration right here and on the Square Nail YouTube channel.

Colfax is bringing its hotel back.

Wendy Lowery and daughter Taylor were walking through a room on the second floor of the Colfax Hotel last week when a growing rumble diverted their attention.
