Old Dillon Historical BuildingsFrisco – The Blue Spruce in Frisco has been a building in Summit County since 1947. The original building was in the old town of Dillon, which is now submerged beneath the Dillon Reservoir. Owners moved the building, it went from a inn to a gas staion to a liquor store to now a fine-dining restaurant. “A good meal, good wine and great service – all in a historic building.” Silverthorne – The Old Dillon Inn identified by locals as the O.D.I., serves Mexican food and beverages in the restaurant’s Western bar. The flashing “BA” on the side of the building can easily recognize this historical landmark. The story goes that not long after opening up shop, the “R” broke. The owner ordered a new one but when it arrived it was too big. He installed it anyway but it too broke. Soon after Ski Magazine wrote and article about the O.D.I. and told readers to look for the flashing “BA”. So the moral of the story, “If it broke, don’t fix it.” Keystone – The oldest restaurant in the Snake River Valley is the Ski Tip Lodge. Deep in the woods along Montezuma Road is a place that offers warm beds and hearty meals. Some of the rooms are without phones or telephones. The tranquil atmosphere and fresh spices from the herb garden makes this a divine place to eat. With a rotating four course menu you will be delighted with new tasty creations. Breckenridge – Located right on Main St., the St. Bernard opened in 1971. Specializing in Northern Italian pasta dishes and other continental fare. What makes it a unique place is the Julius Caesar Lounge hidden in the back of the restaurant. The classic bar, often frequented by locals, is a one of its kind place to have a drink. Dillon – Back in the early 40’s in the Old Town of Dillon, Faye and Lenore Bryant were building their Arapahoe Café. When the Denver Water Board announced plans for a major reservoir, they were afraid the Café would disappear under the rising waters of Lake Dillon. The Bryants were determined to see a new Dillon built among the pines on the shore of the Lake. In 1960 a few hearty souls, moved up the hill to the site of the new town. Walking into the Arapahoe Café and Pub you will notice the floors are a bit uneven and the walls not quite square but the distinct pine paneling and distinguished menu are sure to please even the toughest critic. |
