The Hotel Fresno, in Fresno, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[1]
It was built in 1912 and is the oldest surviving hotel in Fresno.[2]
It was designed by architect and has been described as Neoclassical in style, with elements of Second Renaissance Revival and Beaux Arts styles.[2]
Its design "was reportedly adapted from that of the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, known for its crystal-roofed garden court."[2] The Palace Hotel was built in 1875, and was rebuilt in 1909[3] after destruction in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
Architectural historian describes it as having "adopted the 'caravansary' model, that is, a design around a centralized interior court or atrium lobby at first floor."[3]
It was vacant for 30 years, from 1983.[3]
It is located at 1241-1263 Broadway Plaza.[3]
In 2019, the building was under renovation to become affordable housing for 79 families.[4]
