Corlett.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the hotel and annex strongly exemplify California's Mission-Mediterranean architecture at the turn of the century, with Italianate elements supporting the theme. Its overall integrity of design makes it an excellent local example of early 20th century California architecture. It is also tied to architect William H. Corlett and to Mrs. Alexander, a successful woman hotel operator.","narrative":"Located at 840-844 Brown Street in Napa, this three-story brick hotel with a connected annex was built around 1900-1910 in the Mission Revival style. William H. Corlett designed the hotel, which has three square corner towers, metal tile roofs with modillions and dentils, arched brick hood molds, and two-story wooden bay windows. The annex predates the hotel and was altered within about ten years to match it. It originally held a general store and a men's clothing store. The hotel was named for Mrs. Alexander, described by her daughters as a business-minded woman who wanted her own income and proved a successful hotel operator. Guests included salesmen, attorneys and circuit judges. The building was later renamed the Plaza Hotel and remodeled in 1939-40. It was listed because it strongly represents California's Mission-Mediterranean architecture, with Italianate touches, and retains good overall design integrity as a local example of early twentieth century work.","period_of_significance":"1904-1910 (Hotel)","architect_builder":"William H.
