| What is it? | An empty lot! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: This building was originally a two-story public house built by George Dewitt Clinton Washington Robinson about 1867. From this building one of the last survivors of the pony express rode north.
OTHER TIDBITS: It’s rumored that this hotel was named for Commodore Robert F. Stockton’s ship, Congress! It was a board-and-batten hotel, which meant it was designed with wood paneling in the style of a simple farmhouse! The building served as a saloon and gambling hall, rooming house, post office, and bakery at different times in history. |
