Silverton hotel to reopen…minus some stuff

The owner of Silverton’s historic inn is hoping to reopen following a five-year closure.

But first he’d like the return of a large number of items looted from the building over the last six months.

Maurice Palmer hopes someone knows where it all went.

The hotel was built in 1897 and Palmer has owned it since 2006.
