| What is it? | A plaque outside a bank! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The original hotel was a one-story adobe, the adjoining hall was a one-story frame structure. After the fire of 1866, a two-story stone hotel and a two-story frame hall with rooms upstairs for hotel guests were built. The Union Hotel was conducted as a hotel until 1955, when the Bank of America acquired the property.
OTHER TIDBITS: Well that doesn’t say much about the property! It was built by three Mexican-American War veterans in 1849 and became a major center for social, political, and artistic events in Sonoma! Famous guests included William Tecumseh Sherman, Joseph Hooker, and two Georges: Stoneman and Derby! |
