History: Henry Alfred Miles, of Illinois, came to Ramona in 1899 where he bought many town lots and two businesses on Main Street including the Ramona Hotel on the corner of 7th and Main. He then built the Miles House in 1912 that exists today next to Miles Mercantile Store. In 1914 he added a second story onto the Ramona Hotel in anticipation of new business resulting from the Pan American Exposition in San Diego in 1915. This building became known as the Kenilworth Inn. The Kenilworth Inn was destroyed by fire in 1943 and never rebuilt. In 1925 Miles moved the old store building to 7th street and constructed a modern concrete building next to Town Hall. Old Town district of Ramona
