Historical Data	The Grand Union Hotel was built in 1876 located in Thousand Oaks on what is now the corner of Ventu park and the Ventura Freeway. The hotel had a variety of name changes including the El Hotel Grande, The Conejo Hotel and the Stagecoach Inn. Originally constructed in the Monterey style its appearance changed over the years and the facade was redone in the style of a Southern mansion sometime between the 1930's and the 1960s.
