Overview

In 1877, Adrian X. Irizar took over management of the Bernard House, and, according to an advertisement in the San Francisco, California, City Directory, 1877, "...has rearranged everything to the comfort and accommodation of the guests." The ad continued, "The Street Cars pass the House, connecting with the various boars and trains for all parts of the State. Hacks are in attendance to convey guests to and from the depots or any place desired." (See San Francisco, California, City Directory, 1877, p. 464.)
