Fair Oaks Historical Society

Virtual Walking Tour

The east side of this building started out as the Hamilton House about 1900. It was a private residence until it became doctor Applegate's office and later on apartments. In about 1965 the frontage was added on and it became the popular Town House restaurant and bar.

That lasted until about 1990 when it abruptly closed, probably due to the expense of bringing it up to code. The restaurant and bar remain closed, but there are apartments in the old building.

Next, head north on Fair Oaks Blvd to the triangle where the Founder's Monument is located. Be careful crossing the street to the monument.
