Notes: The Sacajawea Inn opened on Feb. 11, 1928, in La Grande, Oregon.  It was built by Julius Roesch (1862-1960) and was seven stories of fireproof, poured concrete and brick construction. It had 100 guest rooms, a restaurant, ballroom, and coffee shop. Some time later, a seven-story Annex (Roesch Building) was added to the Sacajawea complex, with the fourth through sixth floors providing additional guest rooms for the Inn/Hotel. The two buildings were originally connected via a skybridge.

The original building from 1928 was demolished in 1970. However, the Annex or Roesch Building is still standing and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
