Ansorge Hotel

The Ansorge Hotel is a turn of the 20th century two-story building in Curlew, Washington. It was built in 1907 next to the Great Northern Railway and Republic and Kettle Valley Railway lines. Several patrons of historical note are thought to have stayed at the hotel, including Henry Ford. The hotel went through several owners before it shut down in the 1970s. Soon after that, a historical conservation review led to its current National Register of Historic Places status. Restoration efforts in the 1980s, followed by operation as a museum and historic landmark, were undertaken by the Kettle River History club.
