The idea for the hotel originated with Charles J. Wort, a homesteader who came to Jackson Hole in 1893. Homesteading in South Park country, Charles and his wife, Luella, gave birth to two sons, John in 1900 and Jess in 1903.
In 1915, Charles Wort bought four lots of land in what is now downtown Jackson. The land was used as a horse corral adjacent to a livery stable for seven years. From 1932 to 1940, The Wort family operated what is now Signal Mountain Lodge. And then they began construction on their dream, a luxury hotel in downtown Jackson Hole Wyoming.
Original construction costs were approximately $90,000.00, and the hotel officially opened in 1941. In 1950, the famous SilverDollar Bar was added. A German cabinetmaker designed and built the bar, using 2,032 uncirrculated silver dollars from the Federal Reserve in Denver. |
