History of the Home/Area: |
The Park Inn was a posh hotel in the 1960s frequented by people of power and money. High class prostitution was prevalent there. Cesar Chavez supposedly met there in the "Red Velvet Room" to negotiate high powered labor decisions. Finding this room became the focal point of our search/investigation in the building. The chapel which is on the property was not an original addition. It is the actual chapel where the first owners wed, they had it moved to the Park Inn later when the they learned it was to be torn down.
