Exterior view of the Lyndon Hotel occupied 175 feet of frontage on Santa Cruz Avenue and for 64 years held an important place in the cultural identity of the town. The facility consisted of 60 bedrooms, double dining rooms, and several parlors and sitting rooms. The gentlemen's sitting room, known as the Indian Room, had Navajo hangings and "other Indian bric-a-brac." The ladies parlor was furnished with easy chairs, paintings, engravings and a piano. There were spacious gardens and cottages to the rear of the main building. The grand opening of the Lyndon Hotel on June 1, 1899 was attended by nearly all of Los Gatos.
