Hotel Colfax, mineral springs and baths, Colfax, Iowa, "Saratoga of the West"
-
Description
-
Built by the Old M.C. Springs Development and Improvement Company around 1882 at a cost of $100,000, the Hotel Colfax was originally known as the "Saratoga of the West" and located near the Old Magnesian Chalybeate. After the corporation's management failed in 1892, the hotel was sold to Wesley Jordan for $10,000. In 1904 the hotel was once again losing money so it was sold at a sheriff's sale to Col. James P. Donahue of Davenport. He invested between $600,000 and $700,000 in the property over a four-year period by adding 200 rooms, an electric railway into Colfax, and remodeling of both the inside and outside of the building in a Moorish design. The building was named a miniature city due to the garage and ice and cold storage plants, its electric powerhouse, pumping system and laundry. It is located at 900 North League Road, Colfax, Jasper County, Iowa, and currently used for Teen Challenge of the Midlands. 1910 postmark. Copyright 1909 by James A Donahue.
