Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Oso House in Bear Valley, October, 1935. An automobile is parked on the right side of the two-story wooden building. A small staircase surrounds the outside of the hotel and leads to the front porch where the main entrance can be seen in the center of the front side of the building on the left. Several tires sit outside the main entrance while the many other doors of the hotel remain undisturbed. A wooden fence can be seen down the street on the far left while another wooden fence sits on the right guarding the back portion of the hotel.
Picture file card reads "The Oso House built in 1854. In the town promoted by General Fremont. When this view was taken, October 1935, only one man was residing in the hotel. He stated that he had moved from Chicago to escape the noise. The hotel was destroyed by fire December 9, 1937".
