Hardman Hotel
The Hardman Hotel is a historic hotel that operated in Hardman, Oregon, during the town’s peak. History The hotel's earliest confirmed owner was Charles H. Hams who was listed as the proprietor in August 1904. Hams was an Englishman who immigrated to the United States in 1872 and began homesteading in the Hardman area in 1884. He eventually sold his ranch and cattle business in 1903 and purchased a hotel and Livery yard, livery station in Hardman. J. C. Owen assumed proprietorship of the Hardman Hotel around 1911. Other proprietors included F. M. Scrivner, E. Chapel, W. H. Royse, J. McDonald, and B. F. DeVore. The Hardman Hotel was described circuitously via one local news report which described Royse as having "advertised room and board [at the hotel] at $12 a month; single meals, 25 cents." Moreover, Royse was quoted as saying, "a large quality of hay and grain always kept on hand, and the best possible care taken of all teams left in my charge." The hotel hosted dance part ...

"NR Nomination" link at the database site retrieves the PDF file. Hardman is at an elevation of about in an agricultural area slightly west of the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. Rock Creek, a tributary of the Columbia River, flows northwest by Hardman and to its south to meet the river at Lake Umatilla. A former social and commercial center for surrounding farm communities, Hardman became a ghost town following the completion of a railroad to Heppner in the 1920s. The main surviving commercial building, the Hardman IOOF Lodge Hall, was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2012. History The plateau upon which Hardman sits had long been touted in the newspapers of the late 1800s. Advertisements in local papers, for example, lavished praise upon the "thriving little trade cente ...

Homesteading
Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of food, and may also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing, and craft work for household use or sale. Pursued in different ways around the world—and in different historical eras—homesteading is generally differentiated from rural village or commune living by isolation (either socially or physically) of the homestead. Use of the term in the United States dates back to the Homestead Act (1862) and before. In sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in nations formerly controlled by the British Empire, a homestead is the household compound for a single extended family. In the UK the terms ''smallholder'' and ''croft'' are rough synonyms of ''homesteader''. Modern homesteaders often use renewable energy options including solar and wind power. Many also choose to plant and grow heirloom vegetables and to raise heritage livestock. Homesteading is not ...

Livery Yard
A livery yard, livery stable or boarding stable, is a stable where horse owners pay a weekly or monthly fee to keep their horses. A livery or boarding yard is not usually a riding school and the horses are not normally for hire (unless on working livery - see below). Facilities at a livery yard normally include a loose box or stable and access for the horse to graze on grass. History of livery stables in North America Historically in North America, "livery stable" had a somewhat different meaning: a stable where horses, teams and wagons were for hire, but also where privately owned horses could be boarded for a short time. Because of the temporary boarding aspect, livery stables were often attached to a hotel or boarding house. Located at Buffalo, New York, the C. W. Miller Livery Stable is an example of a multi-story livery stable. The livery stable was a necessary institution of every American town, but its role has been generally overlooked by historians. In addition t ...

Room And Board
Room and board is a phrase describing a situation in which, in exchange for money, Manual labour, labor or other considerations, a person is provided with a place to live as well as meals on a comprehensive basis. It commonly occurs as a fee at higher educational institutions, such as colleges and universities; it also occurs in hotel-style accommodation for short stays. Definition *''Room'' refers to a private bedroom provided, sometimes with a private ensuite bathroom. *''Board'' may refer to the food being provided, or alternatively, the table on which food is served. With a room and board arrangement, the renter has a private bedroom and shares the rest of the house with the person renting out the room. This is different from renting where the renter has private living areas, including a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Two commonly encountered boards are: * ''Half Board'', where the host provides only a breakfast and dinner meals. * ''Full Board'', where the host provides all ...
