National Hotel in 1894
The National Exchange Hotel (also known as the National Hotel), listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a California Historical Landmark, is one of the oldest continuously operated hotels west of the Rockies.[2] It opened in August 1856 under the name of "Bicknell Block".[2]
In 1863 there was a fire and the hotel was shut down for a temporary period of time. By 1894, a new balcony had been added to the hotel (pictured).[3] At a civic affair in San Francisco a Nevada City businessman, John J. Jackson, claimed that a meeting that took place in 1898 at the National Hotel was the creation of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.[3][4]
