Description
View of today's Magnolia Avenue north of Ward Street, Larkspur, circa 1895. The Hotel Larkspur (foreground) was formally opened on June 13, 1891. This structure's names changed over history (Foster, Hotel Merwin, Hotel Larkspur and Blue Rock Hotel). The adjacent house was the home of Richard and Bessie Lynch. Edwin L. Merwin's General Merchandise is pictured to the right. A five-bedroom, four-bath home built in 1897 for architect B. Allen Brown; today located at 234 Hawthorne Avenue. In 1899, C.W. Wright took possession of the house and sold it to George Beleney; the Beleney family used it as a summer residence. This photograph was taken from the upper portion of the Rice livery stable on Ward Street.
