Significance: The hotel was built originally as a rooming house to shelter cigar workers who were immigrants from Spain and Cuba. The hotel's first floor cafe became a renounced center for gambling in the 1920s and 1930s. The "El Dorado Lounge" was synonymous with roulette, blackjack, and underworld figures. During the 1920s, the upstairs served as a bordello for customers of the casino.
