Biographical or Historical Note

The Star Hotel building was destroyed by fire in January of 2015. Up until that time, it had been the oldest standing commercial building in Fortuna, having been built in 1876. The photo of the Londons and Nakata outside the Star Hotel appeared on a photo postcard by a photographer named Walter Keir. A poor quality reproduction of the postcard can be found in the book Fortuna: A Growing City Reflects, 1953, by Andrew M. Genzoli.
