Benbow Inn, Historical hotel in Garberville, United States.
The Benbow Inn spans across 3 acres of land near the Eel River, featuring Tudor Revival architecture with distinctive Douglas fir construction details.
Albert Farr designed this 1926 establishment, which later earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places and as a California Historical Point of Interest.
The hotel received numerous influential guests including Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, Eleanor Roosevelt, and President Herbert Hoover during its early operating years.
