The Kittie Lee Inn
In August 1924 Matt Wilkenson opened the Kittie Lee Inn, which was named for his daughter. When William R. Whorff purchased it in 1925, the Kittie Lee became "the" place to stay for Hollywood's finest.
When Bishop Airport was a training center during WWII the dining room became a barracks. In 1946 the Copper Kettle Restaurant and Charlie's Room Bar was added.
In 1965 the inn was torn down and in 1975 the building was sold to Sam Walker who reconstructed it as Whiskey Creek Restaurant and Bar.
