Seth Bullock and
Sol Star sold the hotel to George Ayres in 1904, who operated a hardware store on the main floor, and continued to operate the Hotel as the Hoizner until 1919. Later it was called the Ayres Hotel. In the 1990's, the hotel was completely restored, including the massive staircase and skylights, and continues to greet guests today.As another interesting note, the
Bullock Hotel is allegedly haunted by none other than Seth Bullock, himself. The hotel has been featured on the popular TV show
Unsolved Mysteries and offers a ghost tour for those that want to hear more of the story and see the places where paranormal activity have occurred. Photo by
