Landmark #496 Sonoma County Visited: Sept. 5, 2015 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? The Swiss Hotel is now a bar and restaurant and still open for business!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: The Swiss Hotel was constructed about 1850 by Don Salvador Vallejo. This adobe adjoined his first Sonoma dwelling, built in 1836. Occupied by various pioneers, in 1861 it was the house of Dr. Victor J. Faure, vintner of prize-winning wines made from the grapes of the Vallejo family vineyards. Later, it was used as a hotel and restaurant.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
