Mr. and Mrs. Keating moved to San Diego in 1886. George J. Keating died in 1888. In 1890, Fannie Keating began construction of the Keating building as a tribute to her late husband, at a cost of $135,000. She employed the [[Reid Brothers]] as the architects to design this building, who are also best known as the architects of the famous [[Hotel Del Coronado]].

The construction of this five story, [[Romanesque Revival architecture|Romanesque Revival style]], office building was completed in 1891. At that time, this building was known to be as one of the most prestigious office buildings in San Diego. This building had all the modern conveniences of steam heat, a wire cage elevator, and spacious office spaces. The original Wire cage elevator was later removed. Some of the well known tenants of this building include Lawyers, Babcock, Paterbaugh and Luce; [[Henry Lord Gay]], founder of the [[American Institute of Architects]]; [[T.J. Sloan]], a well known photographer; and City Library. The [[San Diego Savings Bank]] (later became San Diego Trust and Savings Bank) also occupied this building around the turn of the century, from 1893 - 1912. In fact, the old steel bank vault is still in the basement of the building.

Today, The Keating Building is used as a mixed-occupancy; restaurant / bar on the first floor and in the lower basement and, a hotel on second thru fifth floors. The Keating Hotel is a small, 35 room luxury hotel situated in the center of the [[Gaslamp Quarter]] of downtown [[San Diego, California]]. Designed by [[Pininfarina]] and opened in 2007, the Keating Hotel is one of the growing Gaslamp District's newest contributing hotels and club (Minus-1), with an upscale restaurant named the Merk.
