This was not the first St. James Hotel in San Diego. Shown here (the lobby) and on other picture postcards in this collection (PC-000-903, -904, -905, and -906), this St. James Hotel, opened in 1913, was preceded by one on F Street built in 1885 and described as San Diego's first "skyscraper." Hyman S. Wolf with his brother and cousin built this St. James Hotel in 1912 in the San Diego Gaslamp Quarter in anticipation of the Panama-California Exposition of 1915. This hotel is the Ramada Gaslamp/Convention Center in 2013.
