Description
The Washington School House is one of Park City's most iconic and irreplaceable properties. Built in 1889 as the city's first schoolhouse, this hand-carved limestone landmark now operates as a 12-room boutique property just one block from Main Street and 150 steps from ski access via Quit' N Time to the Town Lift.
Historically protected and prominently positioned, the property offers rare flexibility. Continue operating as a boutique hotel, convert to a private single-family residence, establish a private retreat, or pursue a hybrid approach blending personal use with hospitality. The top-floor penthouse, accessed by private elevator, functions as a premier guest suite while also accommodating discreet extended owner stays.
Grand living spaces anchored by a dramatic fireplace, curated ensuite accommodations, heated pool and spa terraces, and immediate access to dining, galleries, and year-round recreation define the experience.
With the 2034 Winter Olympics set to place Park City on a renewed global stage, ownership represents control of a Main Street, ski-accessible asset in a market where comparable historic holdings are exceedingly rare.
Main Street location. Ski access. Historic designation. Exceptional opportunity. Imagine opening the door to your new residence and stepping back in time. Currently operating as a bespoke boutique hotel, this crown jewel can effortlessly be transformed into a stunning single-family masterpiece.
Originally built in 1889 as Park City's first schoolhouse during the mining boom, this hand-carved limestone building has a rich history. It has served as a dance hall in the 1950s and, more recently, a Bed and Breakfast before the current owners discovered its charm. Recognizing its character, they reimagined it, bringing it to life as a Paris-meets-Park City hotel beloved by discerning guests.
Now, there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this exquisite property. With easy, pre-drawn changes, this vibrant hotel can be converted into a distinguished home. Alternatively, you can keep the hotel operational and enjoy a private pied-a-terre in the top-floor penthouse suite.
Spend your days exploring the shops and savoring the delights on Main Street, just one street below, allowing you to be in the heart of the action while still enjoying quiet, private nights at home. Or, take to the mountains for a day on the slopeswhile not technically ski-in/ski-out, with the Quit' N Time trail just 150 steps away, providing access to the Town Lift, you're much closer than parking at the base and walking to the chairlifts at PCMR!
