It also represents the county's stone industry and the railroad-era hotel period from 1870 to 1936. It is the largest of four related stone buildings around a central park and has kept its original use with little alteration.","narrative":"Hotel La Rose is a three-story stone hotel built in 1907 at Wilson and Fifth Streets in Santa Rosa's Railroad Square. Bautista Bettini commissioned it after the 1906 earthquake destroyed his wooden hotel nearby. Stonemasons Peter Maroni, Natale Forni, Massimo Galeazzi and Angelo Sodini, trained in northern Italy, built it from local andesite quarried in east Santa Rosa. The hotel cost $35,000 and shows Georgian Revival influence. It has about 40 rooms along central corridors, shared bathrooms, dining rooms and a bar. It served railroad workers, passengers and many of the town's working people. The nomination values it as the largest of four related stone buildings around a central park, as an example of the county's stone industry that supplied paving stones to San Francisco, and as a product of Italian stonemasons. Despite a run-down condition, it has no major alterations and has kept its original use.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Stone masons Peter Maroni, Natale Forni, Massimo Galeazzi and Angelo Sodini","architectural_style":"Georgian Revival influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as run down but retaining its original integrity, with no major alterations, its 40 rooms, central baths, kitchen and dining areas, and bar.
