Monte Cristo Bed and Breakfast

About

If the walls of the elegant MONTE CRISTO could talk, what stories they could tell, for this remarkable building has been a part of San Francisco since 1875. When the great fire swept the city after the 1906 earthquake, homes were put to the torch on Van Ness Avenue to create a firebreak, and the Inn survived. MONTE CRISTO SALOON was the original name of this charming turn-of-the-century bordello saloon turned Bed and Breakfast Inn. It is perhaps the oldest original hospitality structure in San Francisco.
