SYMES HOTEL
en.wikipedia.o...
The area now known as Hot Springs, Montana is located within the Little Bitteroot River Valley. Long before Euro-American fur trappers and settlers arrived, the Kootenai, Flathead, Pend d'Oreille and Kalispell Indigenous peoples inhabited this area. In 1842, Father Pierre-Jean de Smet, a Jesuit missionary recorded the thermal springs that were used by the local Indigenous people who "after the fatigues of a long journey, they find that bathing in this water greatly refreshes them."
The Symes Hotel is a historic building in Hot Springs, Montana. It was built in Mission/Spanish Revival style during 1929-1930. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998; the listing included 10 contributing buildings and one contributing structure. It has also been known as Symes Medical Springs and as Symes Medicine Springs.
