It is a three-story Georgian-style brick masonry building located on 6th Street in downtown Redmond.

The Wilson's arrived in Redmond in 1905 after making a modest fortune in Alaska selling supplies to miners during the Klondike gold rush.

Once in Redmond, they became active community boosters, organizing a businessmen's group that meet weekly to discuss civic affairs.

[1] The discovery made the local papers and Hotel Oregon across the street wanted to locate their own cavern and eventually did.

A meeting of the Central Oregon Jersey Breeders was held in conjunction with the grand opening.

However, the hotel lobby served as the home for the local Chamber of Commerce for a time, and as the Redmond bus station since it was conveniently located on Highway 97 which followed 6th Street though town.

[6][9] In 1993, the hotel was extensively remodeled, modernizing the structure while maintaining the building's historic character.

The building was constructed by a local contracting firm led by Ole K. Olson and his partner S. Elmer Erickson.

It is 45 feet (14 m) from the sidewalk in front of the entrance to the top of the cornice, making the hotel the tallest building in Redmond.

The intimate 1,500-square-foot indoor / outdoor garden setting provides panoramic views of the Cascade Range, including Three Sisters volcanic peaks (known as Faith, Hope and Charity), Mount Bachelor, Black Butte, and Smith Rock State Park.

The original floor in the lobby was fir and later covered with black and white linoleum squares, laid out in a checkerboard pattern.

The rooms have high ceilings and tall windows with the hotel's original woodwork still in place.

The renovation took much of the vintage structure down to its historic bones, replacing outdated infrastructure with modern and efficient plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.

The hotel's historic grand staircase, high ceilings, and the original 1928 fireplace constructed out of locally sourced lava rock all remain and welcome guests arriving in the lobby.

The first floor also includes Provisions Market, offering healthy food options in a café setting, Wayfarer Club, serving craft cocktails and thoughtfully created fresh tasty food options, SCP Commons providing 1,500 of creative co-working and event space with conference rooms, a business center, meditation room, and an SCP Fit space for individual health and wellness as well as group classes.
