"The Sonora Inn, originally the Hotel Victoria, is comprised of two buildings. The northern structure is stone and the southern is wood. G.B. Ventre and Philip Cavalero began construction on the stone building in 1895. Before its completion the property was acquired by Capt. W.A. Nevills, who made his fortune in the Rawhide Mine. Originally the two structures were united in the front with a double wooden balcony. The rear, Green Street side of the buildings, has always remained separate. The Hotel Victoria opened in April 1896 with 47 lodging rooms, a dining room, bar and billiard room and wine vaults in the basement. After Charles and Eric Segerstrom acquired the property they completely remodeled it into the Spanish style we see today. The hotel reopened as the Sonora Inn in 1931."
