Rex Hotel | Cle Elum, WA

This building served the Upper County as a hotel and bar through the 1930s. George and Marie Urbanc began construction of the Rex Hotel in May of 1908 and completed it in August the same year. The sandstone block was quarried locally and the lumber was milled by the Teanaway Lumber Company. George's son, Andy Urbanc, converted the property to an automotive garage in the mid-1930s. This shaped its later role as a NAPA store and garage from the mid-1960s through the early 2000s. The Bull Durham mural was painted in the early 1900s. It was first restored in the 1980s and again in 2004.
