It was also a community project, funded by local stock sales and planned as the town's civic and social focal point. It was the first hotel in Tracy built away from the railroad tracks to serve automobile traffic on the Lincoln Highway route.","narrative":"Tracy Inn is a brick hotel at the corner of 11th Street and Central Avenue in Tracy, California. Oakland architects Slocombe and Tuttle designed it in 1926-27, and J.F. Shepherd built it. Its stuccoed walls, terra cotta roof tiles, triple archways, small turrets and central octagonal tower reflect Spanish Colonial Revival design, while the rounded corner, clipped eaves and shallow window insets show Moderne influence. Inside, the lobby keeps its exposed painted beams, hand-painted capitals, wrought iron lamps and fireplace. The building began as a community effort. Local citizen groups sold stock in 1925 to pay for a hotel that could serve automobile travelers, and it opened as the town's civic meeting place. Eleventh Street was then Tracy's link on the Lincoln Highway. A dining wing was added right after opening, and a sixteen-room east wing followed in 1963, designed to match the original. The Inn is valued for its architecture and its long role in local social life.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific dates 1926-27)","architect_builder":"Slocombe and Tuttle, Oakland, Archts.; J.F.
