WOLFE’S HOTEL - LAKE VIEW
HOTEL
Mrs. Ethel Howard writes from
Giml,i with reference to the picture
on page 31 of the Spring 1973 issue of
the Icelandic Canadian entitled “The
first premises of Betel Home at Gimli,
Manitoba, formerly Lakeview Hotel,
“The building shown was not form-
erly the Lakeview Hotel, ibut Wolfe’s
Hotel, built by a German settler at
Gimli at the south-west corner of the
townsite. He had about $8,000 when
he arrived here, I was told by Mrs.
Kristin Johnson, (from her father’s
memoirs, and he was unable to oper-
ate his hotel due to the advent of pro-
hibition, so sold it to Betel, and I
think went broke. Betel bought it
when their place in Winnipeg became
inadequate, and moved their residents
to Gimli to this building. The Gimli
ladies worked hard cleaning and pre-
paring the building for them. When
■the Lakeview Hotel was available for
purchase the Home was moved there,
and sometime later, the old Wolfe’s
Hotel burned to the ground.
© This correction regarding the
identity of the building on our picture
is appreciated. Further research in the
Free Press of September 1, 1945, shows
that the proper name of “Wolfe’s
Hotel” was Moose Hotel. —Ed.
