Frisco Inn on Galena
The Reading Room · est. 1961
Still, by Design.
Welcome, and well found

You are staying inside the book.

Still, by Design. was written in this building — at the desk, in the dawn hours, between pouring the first coffee and the first guest coming down. The Inn in the novel is this Inn. The mountain is that mountain. While you are here, the whole book is open to you.

The way something is built is the way it is felt.

The Guest Ledger

A line, a photograph, the day it belonged to — kept in the house's own book of guests.

From the house

Letters, when there is something worth saying.

A few times a year — a new book, a night worth driving up for, a note from the desk. No noise, no selling. Written by the same hand that wrote the novel you're holding.

One tap to leave, on every letter. Your address stays with the house and no one else. Galena House · 106 Galena Street · Frisco, Colorado.
