Pacific Hotel, San Jose, CA

The Pacific Hotel was originally located at 74-80 South Market Street near Saint Joseph's Church in downtown San Jose. Constructed of fire-proof brick in 1860 as Crandall's Hotel, it underwent several changes of ownership and names (including the Continental Hotel in 1864) until Prussian immigrant and waiter Charles Schiele purchased the property in 1880 and renamed it the Pacific Hotel. The hotel continued operating until the building was purchased by Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Company in 1907.
