Abstract: Last in a series
In 1874, Mason Wilson sold his Vacaville hotel to General E.S. Davis of Oakland, and Davis' brother, J.F. Davis, operated it as the Davis Hotel.
In 1888, Davis described it as "The Best Hotel In Vacaville." It was located at Main and Davis streets, and one of the hotel's attractions, according to an advertisement, was that it was a nightly gathering spot for old-timers.
