The Inskip Hotel was built in 1866, just north of Stirling City, California (Butte County, California), and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (75000425) in 1975.[1] The town itself was named after Mr. Edward “Doc” Watts Inskeep (commonly pronounced Inskip, therefore spelled that way) who first established a sawmill here and apparently discovered gold at this location in 1857.[2] [3]
