George J Keating building
George Keating died in 1888 and his wife Fannie carried on with their plans for the construction of the above building in 1890. It first opened as a modern office building in 1891, once housed a bank, and is now a restaurant/bar on the ground level and a hotel on the upper levels. Here is a fun fact: the architects of the building, the Reid brothers, also designed the Hotel del Coronado.

Great photo of an elegant building; looks European.
For those of you who may not know, the restaurant is Croce's, run by the widow of Jim Croce, who keeps a lively music scene going in the bar. Their son, A.J. Croce, also a very good musician, also sometimes performs there.
I've stayed there! It's wonderful, the lobby is beautiful!
