The Mission Inn
#16/365
Today's History Lesson features the historic Mission Inn in Riverside California.
"From its modest beginnings as a 12-room adobe boarding house to its current stature consisting of 239 guest rooms, the Mission Inn Hotel has been the keystone of Downtown Riverside since 1876. In the late 1800’s wealthy easterners and Europeans flocked to Riverside in search of a warmer winter climate along with the desire to invest in the area’s profitable citrus industry. By the 1890’s Riverside was the richest city per capita in the United States."
I really wished I would have gotten a shot of the interior courtyard, but by the time we drove out there our lunch break was about to end.
