Words on plaque: Hotaling Building. Built in 1866 and occupied by A.P. Hotaling & Co., this building housed the largest liquor repository on the West Coast. It survived the 1906 earthquake and fire due to a mile long fire hose laid from Fisherman's Wharf over Telegraph Hill by the U.S. Navy. This prompted the famous doggerel by Charles Field: If, as they say, God spanked the town for being over frisky, why did he burn the churches down and save Hotaling's Whisky? Dedicated March 28, 1992. Yerba Buena Chapter No. 1. E Clampus Vitus.
