From the NRHP: "This three-story brick mission revival hotel with metal tile roofs was built circa 1900-1910. The building next to it was annexed at some early date, and it was changed inside and out to match the main section. There are three square corner towers on the two street facades of the Hotel. The two street facades are identical on the top two floors. The tile is believed formed of tungstun, extremely unusual. The roof has overhanging eaves with modi 1 lions and dentils underneath. The towers are divided into three sections by string courses, one right below the third floor windows and the other even with the roofline between the towers. There are sets of three windows with arched brick hood molds on both floors of the tower. The central section has two round headed windows with hood molds flanked by two-story wooden slanted bay windows. All of the windows are one over one sash. Between the bay windows on each side of the Hotel are two wrought iron fire escapes which are not original. The first floor is separated from the upper two floors by an overhanging eave similar to the roof with modillions underneath. The cornice is plain. The large plate glass windows are divided by flat brick pilasters with a doric capital. Above the large glass windows are transoms with twelve lights in each of them." (visit link)
