The Grand Pacific Hotel was the first to undergo restoration - work began around 1989. The final pieces of this puzzle were completed around 1993, and small details like brick walkways helped to bring this economic district to life.

It served as a hotel for five decades or so and then spent the next bulk of its timeline as a hardware store. Also of interest is the area’s old fire station, which now operates as a restaurant.

It is incredible to see old buildings, such as the circa-1860 jail house, still in use.
