Y/M/D Person Association Description Composition Food Event
1932/00/00 Wade, William and Estelee Architect William and Estelee Wade begin build the Payson Hotel west of their restaurant, the Busy Bee. Willie Wade has experience building log structures in Yellowstone National Park and applied that knowledge to building his log hotel in Payson.
1933/00/00 Payson Hotel is finished. The logs were cut and hauled from the Mogollon Rim. The Ponderosa Pines are from Ralph Miller's Mill. With just a block and tackle, Willie and his brother raised the log running over the door. R E McKamey laid the red sandstone.
1945/00/00 Local rancher, Richard Taylor, builds a rock fireplace with Stone from the Mogollon Rim. The addition of the fireplace required the removal of the original hotel's second story doorway that led to the balcony.
1945/00/00 The Wades sell the hotel, Main Street is still dirt, to Jimmy Cox and retire from the hotel business. The new owner changes the name from to Ox Bow Inn and begins an expansion, remodeling the earlier 1930s Randall Garage located 10-12 feet to the west.
