This Thursday, plans for the Danville Hotel Territory design are up for review at Town Hall. While the town moves forward with the project, let's take a quick look back at the Silver Dollar Room.
The hotel was built in 1965 as part of an attempt to create a tourist attraction covering the block with frontier-style shops by owner Russell Glenn beginning in the 1950s.
"The shops were controversial as some of the residents thought it looked more like a carnival attraction than a historical building," reads a booklet written on the history of the Danville Hotel provided by the Museum of the San Ramon Valley.
Thursday's meeting begins at 5:30 in the conference room at Town Hall.
