Laurium Manor Inn, MI

Once known as the Thomas H. Hoatson House, this building is now a historic hotel known as the Laurium Manor Inn. Originally, the home was owned by Thomas Hoatson, a wealthy mining captain, and was built between 1906 and 1907 at a cost of $50,000. It is the largest and most opulent mansion in the Western Upper Peninsula with 13,000 square feet and 45 rooms. The manor represents the lifestyle common to the wealthy mine owners in the Keweenaw at the turn of the century.
