This sign is probably a century old, and could date back farther than 1879 when R.L. Stevenson was a guest of this boardinghouse, the French Hotel (sometimes called French's Hotel). Due to his fame as an author, the place became known as Stevenson House. Eventually, it was transferred to the state as part of Monterey Historic Park.
