The Hotel Hurzler Front Entrance Is Shaded In The Cool Early Morning Air.

….“ I wake up wondering if we’re near mountains because of memory or because of something in the air.“
Pennsylvania Avenue at First Street, Laurel MT My own early morning was spent at the Laurel Public Library researching for 1968 Laurel hotels that would have had a common wash room, and/or a back porch with trees.
….Ms. Mary Schrader and Ms. Peggy Arnold are very helpful with my quest, when I showed them the Laurel MT passages from ZMM. Ms. Arnold said one possibility could have been the “Yellowstone Hotel. However it “did not look to the East and did not have a second level porch”.
….A far better possibility was the “Hewetzer” [Her pronunciation.]. Also spelled “Hurzeler”. She supplied me with a Xeroxed page titled “History of the Hurzler Hotel” from book “Laurel City History”. As I was leaving, she directed me 4 blocks “straight down 1st Street to Pennsylvania Avenue”.
