(AKA Willowbrook Ale House)

In 1907, Mr. Herman C. Bartelt purchased what was then known as the Willow Brook Hotel from Mrs. Ellen Hayne, widder of William Harvey Hayne, who had purchased the the property sometime prior to 1900. It was located at Corona Corners until the city saw fit to move Corona Road. Hayne listed his profession in the census of 1900 as saloon keeper. Sometime around 1920, the inn was purchased by G. F. Lieder who ran it as a general store, petrol station and motor inn through 1934.

Over the years, it has been operated as a stagecoach stop, a saloon, an inn, a motor inn, a general store/petrol station, and (up to the early 1960's) a hotel with hourly room rentals, and presently under its current ownership The Willow Brook Ale House.

It was an important stop on the "Indian Redwood Marathon" held in 1927 and 1928 that was run from the steps of City Hall in San Francisco to Grant's Pass, Oregon along the Redwood Highway.
