Carriage Works Rock Botom (Update)



Pictures taken 13 August 2009

The information wafer for the Gaslamp Quarter Historical building plaque at the Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery. The wafer had actually been replaced a while ago after months of being absent. The original posting also also has a picture of the old plaque.

The plaque reads as follows.

Carriage Works

Constructed to house the wholesale business of Todd and Hawley, which operated here until 1902. There Stock was purchased by Lyons Implement Company, which carried a complete line of Studebaker vehicles, including buggies and wagons. Along with Lyons, San Diego Gas & Electric, San Diego Farm and Dairy Supply, a tent and awning company and Volunteers of America have occupied the building.
