A side-angle view of The California Hotel. Transcribed from the notes attached to the picture, "Building burned. It was on the corner across from present 76 Station on the same side of the street. Calif. was the first place Mrs. Chloe Lisle lived in Beatty. Her mother ran it. Job Cobb was the owner. In the background are buildings belonging to Charlie Finney who mined in the Grapevine Mts. The building on the right is lived in presently by Mark Henderson of the Exxon station. Judy's Bar replaced the building on the far right."
