The property was recently featured in Marin Magazine, defining it as "an elegant example of the French Second Empire Style". The article boasted about its "curved-arch dormer windows" and praising that it "was one of the grandest hotels in Marin County when it was built in 1875"! Today, it houses ground-floor shops and 25 apartments, including studios and one-bedroom units. The units offer renovated kitchens, some have private bathrooms, while others share communal facilities. Daily cleaning services maintain the shared spaces, and residents enjoy views of the neighborhood or Mount Tamalpais.
