International Hotel Manilatown Center

Wikipedia records that the International Hotel was established as a hotel for travellers in 1854, moved to Kearny Street in 1873 and was rebuilt in 1907 after the earthquake and fire of the previous year; that it had become a low-income single-room-occupancy hotel housing a largely Filipino American community; and that from about 1954 its basement held Enrico Banducci's original hungry i. All its tenants were evicted on 4 August 1977 and the building was demolished in 1981. The site was bought by International Hotel Senior Housing Inc. and rebuilt.
