The plaque says, "Numerous and complicated transfers are recorded since 1867 when Alonzo Horton first sold this lot for $150. In 1889, half of the building was leased to Ramona Wolf whose name was probably used by Helen Hunt Jackson for the novel Ramona, the somewhat fictional account of the eviction of the Temecula Indians. The Standard Theater later operated with vaudeville variety shows. In 1904, Mortiz Trepte, a German immigrant and carpenter, purchased the north half for $10. Trepte became "one of the Pacific Southwest's leading contractors". The Sterling Company, seller of second-hand goods, had the entire building until the 1970's."
