Bed and Breakfast Inn Description
The historic Eklund Hotel, located in Clayton, New Mexico, has been a landmark for travelers of the southwest since the 1890s. It began as a two-story rock building in 1892 (the west side of the present building). The ground floor was occupied as a store until 1894 when Carl Eklund brought in his elaborately carved bar which is still in use in the saloon. Mr. Eklund and his wife, Gerda, purchased the property in December 1897, and the east two stories were built in 1898. They added the third floor and the "opera balcony" or porch in 1905.The Eklunds kept the hotel as modern as possible with the addition of plumbing, steam heat, electricity, and telephones, as they became available. The Eklund was the only first-class hotel between Trinidad, Colorado and Fort Worth, Texas for many years, and has long had a reputation for good food and drink.
