Here is an interesting view of The Hotel Del Monte in Monterrey California by renowned photographer Carleton Watkins. The image shows the hotel in the distance and through the trees. The Hotel Del Monte was a large resort hotel in Monterey, California, from its opening in 1880 until 1942. It was one of the finest luxury hotels in North America. Charles Crocker, one of California’s Big Four railroad barons, established the resort through Southern Pacific Railroad’s property division, Pacific Improvement Company, and opened the first hotel June 10, 1880. The first true resort complex in the United States, it was an immediate success. Nearby, along Monterey Bay, was a railroad depot. During World War II, it closed and the building was leased to the Navy. After a stint in Huntington’s store in Sacramento, Watkins moved to San Francisco, where he chanced into an apprenticeship with the daguerreotypist Robert Vance. By 1858, Watkins had established an independent practice, photographing mining operations and land claims for financiers who were building their careers in the lap of the new state. 5 ½” x 8 ½”. Clean image, mild edge wear on the mount. The free listing tool.
