Closed for renovation, this structure served traveling railroad and mining personnel during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Daggett Stone Hotel, was the place to stay for railroad men, miners, and other travelers in the central Mojave Desert. Constructed in the 1880s, the building has undergone several catastrophes, including a fire that destroyed its upper story before the turn of the century.

Amongst regular guests at the hotel was "Death Valley Scotty," said to have occupied the front room on the photograph's right because it had a separate entrance.
