Reads: Sequoia Hotel

800 Main Street

This prime corner lot in the heart of downtown was purchased by a group of local investors. The town had needed a first-class hotel for many years; the best one was demolished by the 1906 earthquake. The hotel cost more than $100,000 - quite an expenditure at that time. The three-story brick building was massive (100 ft. by 100 ft.) and elegantly and expensively decorated and furnished. Every two rooms had a bath and hot and cold water. Public restrooms were on every floor; the ground floor lobby led to a dining room and public restaurant. Three parlors where business and social meetings could be held were on the second and third floors where 60 rooms are located.

This building has a number of classical features typical of its 1912 construction; two Ionic pilasters flank the two wooden front doors; above the third floor series of windows is a large cornice supported by thick brackets ornamented with a large "egg and dart" band.
