The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1876 and subsequently rebuilt in 1878. An earlier record reads "Western Hotel of the 'Gold Rush Days'. Two hundred and sixty-five rooms. An early advertisment: 'There is no whitewash on our walls -- all are newly papered'. Three lives were lost in the fire".; Legible signs from left to right include: "Buffalo Bohemian Lager", "Baths", "Birch [...]", "Wines. Liquors. Beers", and "Clothing. Furnishing Goods. Suitcases".
