Discover more about Tracy Inn

The Tracy Inn, located at 24 W 11th Street in Tracy, California, is more than just a place to stay; it's a piece of local history. Constructed in 1927, the inn marks a pivotal time when Tracy shifted from being a railroad-dependent town to embracing the burgeoning automobile traffic. Local residents sponsored the inn's construction in 1925, envisioning it as a community hub.The inn's architecture is a unique blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and Moderne styles, reflecting the transition in architectural tastes of the era. It embodies the tail end of California's fascination with Spanish-inspired designs that began with the Mission Revival Style (1890-1920) and evolved into the Spanish Colonial Revival Style (1915-1940). The Moderne elements foreshadowed the sleek, planar designs that would become popular in the 1930s and 40s.For decades, the Tracy Inn has been a place for meetings, parties, and banquets, and it continues to host such events. Business travelers journeying between the San Francisco Bay Area and the San Joaquin Valley have also found it a convenient and welcoming stop. Until the Highway 205 Bypass was completed in 1970, 11th Street, where the inn is located, served as Tracy's segment of the Lincoln Highway, the first road to cross the United States.
