The Hotel Stockton is a Mission Revival Style building located at 133 E. Weber Avenue in Stockton, California. The hotel, which opened in 1910, was designed as a grand hotel with 252 rooms and became popular among visitors to Stockton, especially traveling entertainers. It served as an interchange for the interurban lines which emanated from Stockton: the Central California Traction Company and the Tidewater Southern Railway.[2] In 1912, the City of Stockton moved its City Hall into the hotel, where it remained until 1926. The building's role in local government ultimately outlasted its role as a hotel; when the hotel closed for business in 1960, the county courthouse relocated to the building for the next four years while a new courthouse was built. The building served yet another branch of government in 1976, when San Joaquin County purchased the building as office space for its Public Administration Department.[3]
