The inn marks the site of a bloody three-month siege in Stern Grove.
In late August of last year, a ruptured water valve flooded San Francisco’s Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove with, destroying its meadows. The deluge spared the Trocadero Inn, but the park is still closed, leaving the storied roadhouse standing empty once more.
The family lived quietly off the land as San Francisco, built on the abandoned ships and wild streets of the Barbary Coast, grew over the hills in the northwestern corner of the peninsula. In the 1870s, two miles north of their land, Scottish horticulturalist John McLaren was starting to realize his dream of a giant park to rival Central Park, planting over 150,000 trees and seeding lush meadows from Stanyan Street to the ocean.
"We built a fort, just east of where the Trocadero Inn is now, and we lined it with metal. We stood watch day and night, and Dad hired the best Indian fighter in the West,” Greene's son, George Greene Jr. later remembered of the siege. “Then we planted the fence around the land with sticks of dynamite — and let 'em come, we said."Fiona Lee/SFGATE
The inn, built in 1892, is thought to be the oldest structure still standing west of Twin Peaks. The gabled building with its Hansel and Gretel eaves and yellow walls has been described as “an exuberant example of Stick-Eastlake architecture,” topped with fish-scale tiles, a square cupola and flagpole.
