The Sea Foam House hotel ran its first Sentinel ad in March of 1880 (right), and the name was mentioned until 1891. The name of the original owner/lessee is probably of Swiss origin, which wouldn't be surprising. Several Santa Cruz hotels were owned/managed by Swiss immigrants during this time period, including the Swiss Hotel on Water Street, owned by Swiss native Giovan Tinetti.
At some point, the establishment became a restaurant only (perhaps with private living quarters above). The Tori family ran the "Il Trovatore" Italian restaurant for over 40 years.
