Pacific Library
Minnie's Hotel opened for business at 28 South Center Street, Stockton,
Calif. in 1951. The business was operated from the first by Mrs. Minnie
McLane--later Dugger (1954), then Palmer (1964). This establishment, located in
an old, run-down neighborhood, catered chiefly to agricultural workers and
transients. Rooms were seventy-five cents a night there at a time when the
middle class considered Motel 6's six dollars per night rates a true bargain.
The Minnie Hotel ceased operation in 1965.
This collection consists of scattered business papers of the
proprietress and nine years' worth of the Minnie Hotel register.
