Valencia Street side of the southwest corner of 16th Street and Valencia Street - 1988

About This Item

Note the narrow sidewalk with no trees. See the next slide from 2012 for widened sidewalks. The building is three stories and was built in 1907 and named the Mission Central. In 1924, it became the Hotel Valencia. By 1976, the building was a mess and a local disgrace. So, in 1984, it was renamed the Valencia Inn, and operated as a bed & breakfast. In 1985-86, the building was repainted and refurbished as Casa Valencia. It was owned and operated by Mission Housing Development & Neighborhood Corporation. The ground floor remains rental commercial spaces.
