History

The building was constructed in 1920 and was first used as a hotel after a large addition in 1926.[2][3] It is currently used commercially, and houses the Green Shutter Hotel (a single room occupancy) on the second floor, with retail businesses on the ground floor, including The Bistro,[4] a pub and music venue, and The Book Shop,[5] now closed, an independent bookstore and at the time the only bookstore in Hayward.

In 2017, the interior of the second floor of the building was largely gutted, shutting down the residential hotel. Some ground floor businesses are still operating. The building is intended to reopen as apartments.[6]
