Comments

  • William Binder was the architect, Henriette and Isabel De Saisset, daughters of Pedro De Saisset, were the builders. Brothel? Blacksmith? Hotel, restaurant, California Loan Co. for sure were located in the building.
  • is there an existing photo of the sign that existed, at least, into the 1980's with the hotel's name? apparently the sigh was destroyed when the building was restored (razed?).
