"A look at the McCoy Hotel from the west bank of Rock Creek in 1916.

Flood waters took it out twice, in 1952 when the King Mountain Reservoir dam gave way and again when high water took it out in 1962. After that it was never replaced." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.95.

"This house, located in the south-east part of the old Groh ranch, was built by Sam Kibbler about 1905 and he, his wife and daughter, Lucille, were the first occupants, but only for a few years. After they left, it has been a home to a number of people including the Grohs after retirement. Its appearance has changed somewhat since 1905 though it's still the same house. In 1942 Helen Ray bought it for $300 but only occupied it for a short time." --...

This photo was taken about a mile north west of McCoy, by A. B. Noyce of Steamboat Springs in the spring of 1903. The three freighters...
