The Manhattan Hotel in Salida, Colorado, at 225 F St., was built in 1901. It served as a hotel until the 1930s, and went vacant after the railroad closed, then was opened intermittently. [2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]

It has also been known as the Fib-Ark Building, as it was willed to the Federation of International Boaters of the Arkansas (Fib-Ark) in 1976 to use in their annual kayak races, perhaps Salida's most important summer event. It was subsequently purchased, by 1982, by an owner pledging to restore the building. [2]

It was deemed significant as "an outstanding example in Salida of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture, displaying sensative articulation in detailing uncommon in the community's remaining historic buildings. It is an unusual example of contrasting asymetrical massing, history-revealing layered signage, masonically symbolic capital elements, graceful arched windows, and interesting masonry textures." [2]

It was in fact renovated and opened as Manhattan VRBO, a VRBO self-service type hotel, in 2019, and also hosts the Boathouse Cantina restaurant on its first floor. It has a spa deck and hot tub, but those were closed permanently in 2021. [3]

The State Bank and Trust Company Building, more commonly known as the Belvada, is a historic bank building located at 102 Brougher Avenue in Tonopah, Nevada. The building was constructed in 1906 for the State Bank and Trust Company, a local bank founded in 1902. Architect George E. Holesworth designed the building in the Classical Revival style. Holesworth's design features granite pilasters separating the building's bays, a dentillated metil cornice with modillions along the roof, and an egg-and-dart cornice at the top of the first floor. The bank moved into the building in June 1907, but it only occupied it for four months. The bank had lent the L.M. Sullivan Trust Company, a land speculating company, a large sum, and when the company failed, the bank did as well. In 1908, the Nevada Club Saloon opened in the building; it was joined by the First National Bank of Nevada later in the year. The five-story building and the nearby Mizpah Hotel, also five stories, were the tallest buildings in the state until 1927.
