Mount View Hotel - Calistoga, CA - Antique Hotels on Waymarking.com

"In 1919, he moved the old hotel back (it did not burn down in 1920 as previously thought) and built the Mount View. The new concrete structure with 8-inch thick walls was designed in the Mission Revival Style. Because Johnny was well liked in Calistoga, he had financial help when he began construction from other merchants and friends, among them a Mr. Light. When Mr. Light died the Principal remained owing but his heirs were unaware of the financial arrangements. Mr. Ghisolfo and Mr. Light wrote nothing down; they just shook hands over the loan of $16,000! But being an honest man, Johnny Ghisolfo went to the bank and borrowed the money to pay his final debt to his friend." (visit link)
