The current Pleasanton Hotel, is the third Main Street site to have that name. In 1852 John Kottinger originally had a small store here. In 1864, the Farmer's Hotel was built on the site. In the 1880s a woman was murdered in one of the upstairs hallways. By 1900 there were ladies available in small houses in the back of the hotel for the company of male guests. The exterior of the hotel was remodeled to its current Victorian style in 1919, and the hotel was re-named the Riverside Hotel. In 1934 it was again re-named as the Pleasanton Hotel. At one time the racketeer, Paul "Bouquet" Cohn (Mickey Cohn's brother) owned the hotel, after he was barred from doing business in San Francisco.
