In the early morning of July 9, 1846, 'when the water came up to Montgomery Street,' Commander John B. Montgomery landed near this spot from the U.S. Sloop-of-War Portsmouth to raise the Stars and Stripes on the Plaza, now Portsmouth Square.
This site is currently occupied by a very old bank with a very beautiful interior. While there is no California Bear plaque, there is another plaque on the outside detailing his landing here.
