for future construction....

The NEW HOTEL WEIRS

to be continued..........

The Diamond Island House was once quite popular until it developed a reputation for gambling and rum!!

In 1880 it was dragged across the ice to become the Weirs Hotel. Just before it made it to land it went through the ice. It took teams of oxen from miles around to pull the building to shore!
