In the 1880 census there is a notation that there were no numbers on the buildings/homes in Downieville. It does say that the hotel is next to Chinatown. There is a letter on ebay with the Capitol hotel's letterhead that says it is on main street. Any ideas where this hotel was located? Thanks Emmitt
