Pope House arguably became the first "resort" hotel in Santa Cruz when it was opened by Horace Pope in 1862, on Mission Street at today's King Street junction. From The Sidewalk Companion to Santa Cruz Architecture (2005 book):
"There were a number of cottages on the site, as well as a two-story main hotel building. A little cottage (ca. 1850) erected for Silas Bennett (who had helped build the famous mill in which gold was discovered on the American River), housed the office, billiards table, and card tables. The little alley opposite Locust Street [across Mission Street] separated the office from the hotel. The establishment was patronized by the leading San Francisco families of the time, among them those of James G. Fair and M. H. de Young."
