    History of the Mission Inn. The story of the Mission Inn stretches over more than a century and began with the Miller family, migrants to California from Tomah, Wisconsin. In 1874, civil engineer C.C. Miller arrived in Riverside, began work on a water system, and with his family, began a small boarding house in the center of town. In 1880, his son Frank Augustus Miller, bought the property and gradually improved and enlarged it.

War I see you are in Chicago,  my  home town with many excellent Historical buildings to shoot. When I go back  I make it a point to  take again the Architecture River Cruise,

Thanks your such a nice comment

The Architectural River Cruise given by the Chicago Architecture Foundation (now Chicago Architecture Center) ia a must do when visiting Chicago. I take this cruise at least once every year and more when we have visitors. The docents are very well trained and provide very accurate information as buildings are added and unfortunately subtracted.

We thoroughly enjoyed that tour. I confess to being somewhat amused by the remarks of the tour guide on the vulgarity of the TRUMP lettering on his building, remarks incidentally with which I totally concurred. (For the record, this is an aesthetic comment, not a political one.)

Our signage ordinance at the time could not have ever imagined or anticipated such an outrage. Our attempts to rid ourselves of the abomination have thus far failed. Actually yet another ordinance is being introduced this month.  We just have to cringe, be patient and let it run it's course. Hope it won't take four years!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, come back soon.
