Profile > History & Heritage > King George Hotel

Formerly the Waverly Hotel, the King George Hotel was built in 1899 by John Henning. One afternoon in 1903, the ceiling of this building was riddled with bullets by the Idaho Kid with his Colt 44 revolver. Shortly after being locked up by the local Mounties, Bill (the Kid's real name), apparently realizing crime does not pay, settled down with his wife in the Weyburn district.
