The Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, is a Renaissance Revival structure built between 1901 and 1911 by August Grimm, the town's first mayor, and his partner George Plummer. Named after Owen Wister's celebrated novel set in Medicine Bow, the hotel was conceived not merely as lodging for cowboys and railroad workers but as a civic meeting place and center for business dealings. Its substantial scale—remarkable for a town of fewer than three hundred residents—has anchored Medicine Bow's identity for nearly a century, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for both its architectural merit and historical significance.
