Historic Preservation Board recommends 90-day stay on demolition at 460 E. Broadway Ave.
Summary
The Teton County Historic Preservation Board found the Hitching Post Lodge resources at 460 E. Broadway Ave. historically significant and voted 8-0-1 to recommend a 90-day stay and issuance of a demolition permit for public comment.
The Teton County Historic Preservation Board voted on March 11, 2025 to recommend a 90-day stay on demolition for the property at 460 E. Broadway Ave. The board found the resources identified in DEM-0001 related to the Hitching Post Lodge to be "historically significant according to the Town of Jackson Designation Criteria to the Jackson Historic Registry." The motion to recommend the stay and to issue a demolition permit for public comment was moved by Nicholas Houfek, seconded by David Vandenberg, and passed 8-0-1.
Cal Hutchinson, representing St. John’s Health, and Ryan Dorgan of Shacks on Racks provided remarks during the review of DEM-0001. Board materials identify the structure as over 50 years old and representative of log construction tied to early tourist lodging in Jackson; the board’s recommendation gives the applicant and interested parties a 90-day window to explore alternatives to demolition. The board did not adopt final action to prevent demolition but set the public-comment process and a temporary stay as the next procedural steps.
