Fire devoured the 100-room Cabin Hotel in Steamboat Springs, killing two people trapped in the flames.
All that was left of the three-story frame resort was "a skeleton of charred wood and ice," the Associated Press reported.
Mayor Claude Luckens and other citizens tried to reach the victims but were driven out by smoke. The blaze, which broke out Jan. 24, 1939, started near a chimney, reports said.
