The Cremer House
THE CREMER HOUSE
The Cremer Hotel was completed in 1876 to house, feed &
entertain the laborers who massed to the San Lorenzo Valley
when Redwood Logging began in the late 19th century
Gambling, loose women and liquor lowed freely within its
redwood-framed walls, occasionally erupting into a newsworthy
brawl between patrons or the violent murder of a staff member.
The series of devastating fires chat burned much of Felton
miraculously spared the Cremer Hotel, earning it the title of
oldest surviving structure in downtown Felton
Through the years, the building has been used as a Hollywood
film set, an industrial apiary, a hobby shop, a drug store, a
beauty salon, and supposedly a hooch house. Today, the building
houses the Cremer House Restaurant and upholds the tradition
of feeding and entertaining Felton locals.
