The Coram Hotel, located on California Ave. in Libby in Lincoln County, Montana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]

It was built as The Coram in 1899 but was left unfinished for 12 years, after the mining industry collapsed. Per a 2012 news article, it was later used to shield cattle during bad weather "and as a town meeting hall when they could shoo the cows out." It was opened as a hotel in 1910 as Hotel Libby.[2]
