Mrs. John Leach was listed as the proprietor in the 1887 directory. 4
The Mint Saloon was on the ground floor c.1895.
The building suffered a severe fire in May 1914, the Tribune describing it as "practically destroyed." 2 It's unknown when the building was demolished. It no longer appears on the 1951 Sanborn, but a photo labeled as taken September 26, 1928 shows it still standing, and the hotel is listed in the 1928 Polk's Oakland directory. 1,5
