Tiger Hotel in Burke Idaho
Vložit

- The Tiger Hotel was constructed in the 1887 over the creek in a narrow portion of the canyon in Burke Idaho to house mine and mill workers. It survived fires, floods, expansions until it's demise in 1954, no longer of use. It is now considered one of the treasures of the legacy of Burke due to the creek under and railroad through novelty..
Itchy Boots just rode through there on her motorcycle tour and mentioned the hotel, so really great to see the pictures and background thanks.
Yes, saw that, and very interesting it was too. Good to see this further background information. I'm in the UK, and this is a different side to the USA than we get to normally see - and no less interesting for that.
Just got here because of Itchy boots vedio .
Noraly from the ItchyBoots vlog featured Burke and the mythological Tiger Hotel on her website today Sept 2 2022.
That's how I ended up here lol

Same.
Shades of Itchy Boots, CZcamsr from the Netherlands, who uploaded a video yesterday depicting that town with a brief history. She's a solo rider heading to Alaska on a Honda motorcycle. Over a million subscribers. Warning: Itchy Boots is highly addictive!
She's the Real Deal and has explored a lot of the world on 2 wheels. 👍
After watching Itchy Boots always wondered what the place looked liked in its heyday. Thanks for showing us all.
My grandfather worked in the Star Mine for 40 years as a gypo miner as did my dad but for a much shorter time. I was raised between Wallace and Burke (Frisco Hill). My mom's family was from Wallace and my granddad worked in the Hecla machine shops. There is no good way to describe Burke Canyon in the late 50's and early 60's when I was growing up. Wild-rough-no rules-live for the moment- might be a way to start. The canyon was very crowded, no room to put another house or structure. The Star Mine would hire high school kids in the summer to clear brush or would put them in the ball mill to find and throw out worn out iron balls used to crush the ore. This gave the kids a few bucks and would keep them out of trouble for a while. All the mine tailings went right into Canyon Creek, which seems unreal in this day and age. Just glad I got to see this part of Idaho history.
Hello Steve, I am one of the Baker kids from Frisco hill!
I would love to hear more stories!

I come across your video while watching itchy boots vlog crossing this place it brings my curiousity to find the history behind this place..nice informative video.
Same! I've driven through Wallace and stayed overnight in Kellog before. Next road trip, this will be a must-see!
Here to get the story fleshed out a bit from Noraly AKA Itchy Boots' channel as she posted a video of her passing through Burke and talking about the hotel. Definitely interesting.
Haha me too Sean! I find it interesting as well.
@@doobielawson702 Hey! My own family has a fair bit of mining history. My grandfather worked in the livery stable in another silver boom town of Silver City Utah when he was a young kid. Also, his mother's side of the family had 3 relatives killed and 1 survived (although badly hurt) the Scofield coal mine disaster. I was planning a trip out west and this video and Noraly's has got me all worked up to hit some of these sites the next time I'm out that way.
@@seaninness334 sounds like it will be a fun trip! I've really enjoyed Noraly's trip through Colorado and Idaho, looks like beautiful country.
@@doobielawson702 IKR? I've been to UT, CO and NV but not like Noraly. I've never been where she is now. I do have more immediate plans to get into parts of Eastern Canada on two wheels. The area she is in now, per her most recent videos, and the PNW may be the first things when I start writing a bucket list.
@@seaninness334 I live in SW Oregon. If you come out this far, check out the Redwoods near Crescent City, CA. They're amazing.
Just saw this while watching a Dutch girl riding a trailbike through USA on her way to Alaska.[Itchy Boots]
My Father was Born and raised in Burke in the 60s. Lived WAY up canyon and worked at the Star mine after Highschool. Highschool was down the road in Wallace. There was a sunny side of the canyon and a shady side. The shady side was covered in Trees and no one really went up that side, too steep and dark. Sometimes there was snow on the shady side of the canyon well into the summer.
Great video. I was on this road once, maybe 20 years ago. Your video directs me to explore this regon again. Great use of current and old video. I like your style, great voice. Thanks again. Dave.
Who else came here after watching Itchy Boots, September 2022?
thank you for the video. Passing it along to my children.
i drove thru there today, its awesome you just put this up - thank you!
I can answer most questions about Burke. My Film professor at Spokane Community College made a wonderful Documentary about the town, and I *Think (it was a few years back) Burke, the Town too Tough to Die or Burke, Toughest Town in the West or something similar.
it's very narrow burke lies in a canyon it's a cool place I've ben
Hi thank you for the videos, I enjoyed seeing them. there is a good chance that my grandfather worked in the mine. I'm not fully sure he passed when my mom was young and all the adults to ask questions to are also passed. thanks again for the vids.
I'm here from itchy boots summer 2022 youtube video
.
I lived in coeurda'alene went there with a couple friends
Excellent piece.
Hey Dirk!! Very cool! Thanks for posting this! We need to get together again soon. My hip is doing great! =)
DAWN WIKSTEN So glad to hear that -- I've been wondering about you! You have my email :-)
. No My email was hacked. I changed to roselakedawn@gmail.com Please email me there so I have yours. =)
DAWN WIKSTEN Hi Dawn, check your email --
Great information. What year is the (Sanborn?) map? My family genealogy has a cousin of mine, Annie Bergitte Johnson, who was injured when she fell two stories from the burning Tiger Hotel. It doesn't mention the year, but 1923 would be about right.
Was the railroad through the hotel part of the original construction? My grandpa was raised in Burke. He worked in the mines before he went to college. His father and stepfather also worked in the mines. I've been to Burke, Wallace and Nine Mile Cemetery in my genealogy searches.
Looking for old photos of Burke the tiger hotel and homes with outhouses over creek. Any ideas
The 20th Century consists of the years 1901 through 2000 and will end Dec. 31, 2000.
You mean early 20th century, not 19th.
twentieth century dude
metric metric metric my God!
