Taking a walk on the Wild West Side: Historic Seventh Street

The Wells Hotel on July 8, 1926
The Bullshead & Wells Hotel

The Bullshead Bar & Casino & Wells Hotel is located at the corner of Seventh and Lake Streets. In 1869, H.R. Renshaw and William Humphries built a log hut and called it the Bullshead Saloon. It served the developing community of Humboldt Wells as the center of social activity. By 1897, a wood-framed building was erected on this site and called the Railroad Hotel. The proprietor was Mrs. C. B. Moore who was followed by Jas. L. Campbell. In 1900, a new wood frame, two-story structure was built and called the Bullshead Hotel. Like it's predecessor, it was a lodging and eating establishment that also included a bar appropriately called the Bullshead Bar. The last known alteration covered the wood structure with brick in 1945.
