The "Golden Gate" was the first hotel at Fairview. It was built in 1892 by F.R. Kline, the first of five hotels in the mining town in the boom years. The Fairview Hotel, known as the "Big Teepee," burned to the ground in 1902. The Fairview Hotel was three stories tall. In the debris of this old hotel coins, rings and other items of jewellery lost in the blaze at the time have been recovered. During the 1970s, local historian
Bill Barlee visited the remains of the Fairview Hotel. Barlee sifted through the rubble and found articles ranging from coins to keys, from silver and gold jewellery to doll sets.{{citation ==Television==
