Emmet House Site

The Emmet House Site is a historical landmark designated by the San Diego, California government Historical Resources Board.[1] The Emmet House Site was constructed as a rooming house and restaurant and was later the location of San Diego's first County Hospital. The hospital operated during the 1870s.[2] The building was demolished in 1949 but a historical marker has been placed at its original location. The original construction dated to the 1860s.[1]

A coffin was stolen from the building in 1883.[3]

It is one of over a dozen landmarks designated by the Historical Resources Board on November 4, 1970.[1]
