Hotaling Place - Horse Hitching Posts
Hotaling Place is named for businessman Anson Parson Hotaling, best known for his 19th century whiskey trade. Hotaling Place leads from Washington Street to Jackson, the hub of the Jackson Square Historic District.
Hotaling housed his whiskey operations on Jackson Street. When fires from the 1906 earthquake spread through San Francisco, the whiskey establishment was among the few areas spared the destruction.
Hotaling Place originally housed stables, which accounts for the horse-head hitching posts you'll see in the area. Hotaling Stables are registered as San Francisco Landmark #11.
