Izaak Walton Inn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Izaak Walton Inn is a historic hotel in Essex, Montana, USA. It was originally built by the Great Northern Railway in 1939 for lodging railway workers. The hotel was originally planned as a gateway to Glacier National Park, but that plan never materialized.[1][2] Today, the inn is at the only flag stop along the route of Amtrak's Empire Builder.
The Tudor Revival inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is privately owned.[3]
