Railroad Men Lose Old Haunt In Butte Finlen Hotel
Old-time railroad conductors who have long used the Finlen hotel in Butte as a hangout will lose their cherished gathering spot when the doors close January 15. They first registered there after its 1889 grand opening and will sign the last time on the evening of the 18th as a modern grander hotel rises in place. The lobby where friendships formed and greetings of See you later at the Finlen echoed through the years will fade as Butte embraces newer comforts and the old crowd disperses to smaller lodgings.

Kenoffel Brothers Plan Second Butte Café
The Kenoffel brothers John and Sam, proprietors of 17 South Main street, sign a 15 year lease for 43 West Park street in the Thomas block and plan a modern cafe in Butte to open within three months. They promise top equipment, strong faith in Butte’s growth, and spend freely to build a flagship restaurant in the business district. The pair began at 111 South Main in 1904, spent 14 years there, then moved to 17 South Main in 1918 as business rose, with 1922 ending strongly.
