Bayley Hotel
In 1861 construction began on the Bayley Hotel. The hotel was built under the mistaken impression that the Transcontinental Railroad would eventually be routed through Pilot Hill, following the wagon route then in use. The hotel would serve the thousands of rail passengers who would pass through the then-thriving commercial center of Pilot Hill. Those grandiose plans did not develop because the Central Pacific Railroad was constructed using a route some miles north of Pilot Hill. The hotel was altered to be a residence instead. It has now been sitting empty falling into ruins for a number of years. -from NRHP
