Overview

The Commercial Hotel operated at 425-435 Main Street near California Street, in Downtown Stockton, CA, c. 1909. A.A. Lynch was its proprietor in 1909. (See California Polk-Husted Directory Company's Stockton and Lodi City and San Joaquin County Directory, 1909-1910, p. 110.)

Building History

F.C. Hahn managed the Commercial Hotel in 1875.

This hotel, also known as the McAlister Hotel, operated at this location on Main Street from at least 1891-on.

Alteration

When first built in 1874, the Commercial Hotel had two stories, but another was added in 1878.

The Commercial Hotel was greatly enlarged after 1891, with a perpindicular wing being added facing North California Street. A turret that graced the new corner of the hotel was removed during the twentieth century.
