Framing is officially underway at the historic Colfax Hotel, and for the first time in decades, you can truly start to see the vision taking shape.

What sat empty for over 40 years is slowly becoming something meaningful again.

Every beam, wall, and detail represents another step forward in preserving a piece of local history while creating something future generations can gather around and enjoy.

We’re excited to share the progress with you as this next chapter unfolds.

Stay tuned… this is only the beginning.

Before it was quiet… this was the heartbeat of a railroad town.

People arrived here tired from the journey stepping off trains, looking for a warm meal, a good night’s sleep, and a place to connect.

These buildings weren’t just hotels… they were part of everyday life in Colfax.

The Gillen. The Marvin. The Colfax Hotel.

So many stories passed through these doors.

As we begin this restoration, we’re not just rebuilding a building… we’re uncovering history. And we know that some of that history lives with you.

Do you remember this place?
Did your family ever stay here?
Do you have old photos tucked away… especially of the inside?

We would truly love to see them and share them (with credit, of course).

This project means a lot to us… but it belongs to the Colfax community.
