Exchange Hotel. 5185 Elmira Street. 1914. Renaissance Revival. 

The Exchange was built in 1914 as a telephone exchange office. Yet, after its completion, the telephone exchange office relocated and the building was immediately  re-purposed as a hotel. The building was designed by the same architect who drew the Imogene Theatre and Santa Rosa County Grade School.
