David Barr, one of many bidders at yesterdays auction
Lots of folks came to bid on the contents of the Grantsville Hotel and Restaurant
yesterday morning. Restaurant and kitchen equipment and all the furnishings of
the hotel rooms went to the highest bidder.
Bids on the hotel property were rejected, apparently too low, and the building now
stands empty waiting for a buyer.
The sale was promoted by two separate banks, one that financed the real estate
and the other financing the contents of the restaurant.
The Grantsville landmark, originally known as the Jeffery's Hotel, has been
long-time fixture. This closure may well be an end to the location's use as a
commercial venture.
