Building History

The Hotel Athens in San Francisco opened at an inauspicious moment, just before the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 04/18-19/1906. A classified advertisement for the hotel appeared in the San Francisco Examiner on 10/21/1905: "Athens (Hotel Athens), 166 Turk—A beautiful, new, sunny, 7-story brick building, with all modern conveniences; elegantly furnished suits [sic] and single rooms, with baths; European plan. Mrs. J.J. Anderson, Prop.” (See Hotel Athens classified advertisement, San Francisco Examiner, 10/21/1905, p. 12.)
