ReplyDeleteMy grandmother worked at this hotel in 1900. I have found info that shows it was burned to the ground in the Lincoln Street fire in 1893, but this obviously rebuilt. Any photos of the rebuilt hotel available? Appreciate what you've posted--LC in CA
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather (Harry Hubbard Cooper) was assistant manager of The United States Hotel in the early 1900s, and might have known LC's grandmother! LC, can you email me what you know about her?
