Elihu Anthony (1818-1905) came to Santa Cruz in late 1847, becoming a leading early Santa Cruz businessman, entrepreneur, and developer. He was shown as a property owner on the 1866 Santa Cruz map, in "Block No. 1" (Mission Hill) of the core downtown area; and as owner of another residence in "Block No. 3" (Union Street). The narrow street connecting Union and Locust Streets next to Anthony's lot is labeled on the map as "Anthony's Alley". In 1866, Anthony built a new house "on the hill near the water works reservoir" (on the bluff at the end of today's School Street).

Riptide Centennial includes a brief profile of A. B. Bennett, said to have married Anthony's daughter Louisa (1846-1922). Her grave marker, however, shows her married surname as Huntington, wife of Wilbur Huntington (second husband?).
