Former POW camp ‘Great Western Hotel’

In 1919, this hotel was built by the Great Western Sugar Company for 100 men who worked in the sugar beet industry, which was an important industry in Longmont.
In 1943 this hotel was adapted to house 180 German and Italian prisoners of war who worked in the agricultural industry. After the last prisoners of war returned to Germany in 1946, the complex was converted into an apartment.
