Potlatch City Hall (Site # 53)

Location: Potlatch, Idaho. 46.9215073, -116.9008954

Description: Built in 1917, this was the Administrative Building and the hub of the company town enterprises. It oversaw the company store, hospital, school, fire department, and all housing. The building was a beehive of activity, with corporate executives overseeing mill operations, stenographers tracking lumber production and sales, and mill workers lining up for paychecks. By 1950, the company disbanded and the prominent building became Potlatch City Hall.
