Mission Inn

On Christmas eve, the Mission looks as good as ever after all of these years.

The property began as a two-story, 12-room adobe boarding house called the "Glenwood Cottage" built by civil engineer Christopher Columbus Miller in 1876, which predated the founding of the City of Riverside, California. In 1902, Miller's son Frank changed the name to the "Mission Inn" and started building obsessively, in a wild variety of shapes, until he died in 1935.
