Description |
Blithedale Hotel, the first hotel in Mill Valley, was built by Dr. John S. Cushing in 1873 and opened initially as a sanitarium. When Cushing died in 1879 the sanitarium closed briefly and reopened as a hotel. In 1912 the main hotel building was demolished and the land was subdivided into 70 choice lots. Some of the original hotel cottages still stand today. The two black and white images appear to be photos of a painting, which is photographed in color in version 3 of the image. |
