The Holbrooke Hotel

The present bar of the hotel has been in continuous operation since 1852 when it was known as The Golden Gate Saloon.

The saloon was destroyed in the fire of 1855 and rebuilt out of fieldstone with a brick front. The Holbrooke, built 1862, had the adjacent Golden Gate Saloon incorporated in the hotel building.
