Mill Street in Santa Paula, Ventura County, California, designed in 1910 and completed in 1911 on a 0.74-acre corner lot.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is the only operating hotel in Ventura County that keeps the look of the early 'grand hotels' era. It is an excellent local example of English Tudor styling with Craftsman interior influences, designed by the Los Angeles firm Hunt and Burns. It also reflects Santa Paula's growth as an oil and citrus center.","narrative":"Glen Tavern Hotel, at 134 N. Mill Street in Santa Paula, is a long, shingled English Tudor style inn completed in 1911. Its two front gables have half-timbered stucco facades, and a porch with square stone pillars runs between them. The lobby and stairwell are Craftsman in design, with heavy wood columns, boxed beams, window seats and a massive stone fireplace. Los Angeles architects Hunt and Burns designed it as an 'English Inn,' and Los Angeles builders Crookshank and Summers built it for the Santa Paula Hotel Company, formed by local businessmen after a 1903 fire destroyed the Petrolia Hotel. Near the railroad depot, it served oil and citrus businessmen, tourists, and silent film companies. During World War II the federal government leased it to house secretaries working at the Port Hueneme Naval Base. It is described as the only operating hotel in Ventura County retaining its historic appearance from the grand hotel era, and it was named a county landmark in 1981.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Crookshank & Summers (builders); Hunt and Burns (architects)","architectural_style":"English Tudor Revival with Craftsman influences","criteria":[],"status_note":"Has remained in constant use as a hotel since 1911; now a residence hotel and restaurant with 12 apartments and 25 rooms, and in good condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:28.355029-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/84001225.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001225/5814c910df-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001225/5814c910df-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Patrick Pelletier","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Glen_Tavern_Inn_2014_02.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Patrick Pelletier</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Glen_Tavern_Inn_2014_02.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123862340","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Tavern_Inn","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5568062"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/ventura-county/glen-tavern-hotel-84001225/"}
