The building had an original address of 182 West Center Street (later renamed Lincoln Avenue).

Overview

This two-floor, wood-frame hotel was in operation in 1871 at the corner of Lemon Street and Center Street. Center Street was renamed Lincoln Avenue. It stood next door to an early brick building in Anaheim, the Langenberger Building.

Building History

Anaheim's second mayor, Heinrich "Henry" Kroeger (1830-1921), erected this wood-frame hotel in the early 1870s. Kroeger sold the hotel to Ferdinand William "Max" Nebelung (1844-1924), who renamed it the "Anaheim Hotel" by at least 1873. (See Anaheim Hotel advertisement Los Angeles Daily Herald, vol. 1, no. 38, 06/22/1873, p. 2.)

Kroeger also erected an assembly hall in Anaheim, known as "Kroeger's Hall."
