Overview

In 1892, a year before the 200-room Tubbs Hotel burned, Paul Moroney was the lessee operating it. The hotel occupied the north side of East 12th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues. (See Oakland, California, City Directory, 1892, p. 506.) Chateauesque in design, the building had originally catered to a well-to-do clientele, but fell on hard times in its last years. Its owner, Hiram Tubbs(1824-1897), a man who made a fortune in rope, lived across the street in a Second Empire mansion.
