The Story of The Brick Hotel
Originally constructed in 1888 as the town’s first hardware store, The Brick Hotel has a rich and fascinating history that spans over a century. The building, known as the Schuyler building in its early years, stood proudly with its brick exterior and oversized ceilings, serving as a prominent landmark in the community. Over the decades, the building underwent several transformations, including being converted into a three-story structure with reduced ceilings and housing various businesses, such as a cash grocery store, in the 1930s. However, when the building fell into obscurity, covered in stucco for over 60 years, its true potential was realized.
In 2017, a visionary restoration project began to restore the building to its former glory and give it a new lease on life as a boutique hotel. Over five years, the building underwent a painstaking renovation, preserving its historic facade and original character while incorporating modern amenities and finishes. In 2022, The Brick Hotel opened its doors to guests once again, offering a glimpse into Oceanside’s past with its beautifully restored brick exterior and historic touches found in each room. Today, The Brick Hotel is a testament to the town’s rich heritage, providing guests with a unique opportunity to experience the charm and elegance of a bygone era.
