"HACIENDA HOTEL
HERE IN 1848 WAS BUILT THE FIRST TWO
STORY ADOBE HOTEL IN CALIFORNIA.
ORIGINALLY A BOARDING HOUSE, THE BUILD-
ING WAS CONVERTED INTO A SMALL HOTEL
TO ACCOMMODATE VISITORS AT THE MINING
SETTLEMENT. DESTROYED BY FIRE IN 1874,
AND LATER REBUILT.
AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF THE POPULAT-

MANY YEARS UNTIL IT WAS REMODELED IN
1934 TO SERVE AS A RESTAURANT.
KARL M. & HELEN V. RESCH NAMED THEIR
NEW RESTAURANT, "CAFE DEL RIO" AND
CONTINUED IN BUSINESS UNTIL THEY SOLD
IT IN 1968.
