Oblong format: 4-3/16" x 6" <br/><br/>The Hotel St. George was built in the 1890s by the San Francisco millionaire A. P. Hotaling a very successful Pacific Coast liquor distributor. Stretching along one full block of downtown Santa Cruz it was regarded as the best accommodation along the coast between San Francisco and Monterey. As it changed hands over the years additions were added and renovations took place. As Santa Cruz’s coastal amusement tourist attractions were developed the hotel played a major role in keeping the city’s downtown area viable. The hotel existed well into the 20th C finally destroyed by fire in 1990. J. C. C. Leonard named as the lessee on the booklet's cover was involved with the hotel for many years before and after the turn of the 20th C. He is named in a 1905 lawsuit as being associated with the hotel as early as 1898. He was listed as the lessee as late as 1914. At the time of this publication Leonard was also the proprietor of the Sea Beach Hotel shown in one of the photo illustrations. OCLC records 2 holding institutions: UC Berkeley & UC Santa Cruz.
