Summary   Exterior view of the Grand Imperial Hotel, in Silverton, Colorado, looking west; shows storefronts with inset doors, pilasters with acanthus capitals, stepped semicircular arches over the second floor sash windows, mansard roof, chimneys and dormers with their jigsaw-worked bases, and arched sash windows and the brackets under the eaves. Curtains hang behind many of the storefront windows. An oval, painted sign projecting over the entrance held by a cable reads: The Grand Imperial. Lettering in the transom over the door on the right reads: Dining Room. The curb next to the concrete sidewalk has stenciling: Hotel Parking.
