The Webber House, ca 1880 |
| Description |
Located on the southeast corner of Clarke and Davis Streets, built in 1859 by Charles B. Tool (same man who built the county courthouse). Shown in picture: Frank Webber, and Mrs. Mary Hortense (Lyman) (Hawkins) Webber. The Webber House was run as a hotel from about 1863 until 1915 by Mrs. Mary Hortense Webber. Mrs. Webber, born Mary Lyman, had come to San Leandro as Mrs. Mary Hawkins; she settled where Lake Chabot is now. The Hawkins family had three children, and lived in this location for about ten years, until Mr. Hawkins died. Mary then married Charles W. Webber, who was running the hotel. He died before 1870, and Mrs. Webber continued to operate the hotel until her death. According to Mrs. Cathering McCoy Retallick, Chas. W. Webber and Mrs. Hawkins were married in 1863; he died in 1864. |
