It is a three-story brick hotel with 14 hotel rooms, reflecting Greek Revival influence. It faces west onto Main St. (now also known as Pine Grove–Volcano Road). Its 1983 National Register nomination asserted that it was "the most impressive building" in town, and that it appeared "much the same ... as it was in 1880, thirteen years after it opened." [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church (Jackson, California)</span> Historic church in California, United States

The Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church is a Serbian Orthodox church in Jackson, California. Built in 1894, the church was the first Serbian Orthodox church in America. Amador County had a large Serbian-American population in the late 1800s due to the California Gold Rush, and the county's Serbs established the St. Sava Church Organization of Amador County in 1886–87; the organization was responsible for purchasing land for and building the church, and the effort was led by Sevastijan Dabović. The church's original design had an Eastern Orthodox influence, complete with an onion dome; while the dome was later replaced by a bell tower, the church's stained glass windows and use of icons still give it a distinctive Eastern Orthodox character. The church has been used for Serbian-American religious and social activities since its opening and is now part of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Western America.
