The Coates House was a hotel, completed in 1868 at a cost of $20,000, by Colonel S. W. Eldridge. It was operated for a period following its completion by Eldridge's brother, Major Thomas B. Eldridge, who called it the Broadway Hotel.
In 1870 Kersey Coates and John R. Balis bought the hotel and renamed it the Coates House. Coates was a Pennsylvania-born entrepreneur who became a leading developer of the Quality Hill district: he died in 1887.
The hotel was nearly destroyed by fire in 1978 and was rehabbed and converted to apartments in 1985. Business name timeline:
