Raymond, Madera County, In 1890 the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Company built a commodious hotel for the accommodation of the Yosemite Tourists. Mr. Glascock was the first manager, and two years later Miller and Baxter. Upon the death of Charles Miller the hotel was leased to Mr. and Mrs. George Leidig who for years operated the Leidig Hotel. Mrs. Leidig's fame as a cook was spread world-wide by the tourists. When the Leidig Hotel burned, Yosemite tourists were taken care of P.M. Bowen who had closed out his general merchandise business and converted his store into a hotel. This was located just east of the S.P. Station – was comfortable and attractive – it satisfactorily took care of the fast-growing tourist trade and was a credit to the town. Its destruction by fire in 1907 was a real disaster.
