Name/Title
Bernardo Fernandez wharf, residence 12 inches wide (Armstrong)Description
During the 1850s, Fernandez started a mercantile business on this site at the foot of Tennent Avenue. He built a supply store, constructed warehouses and wharves, hauled farm products, and handled the mail to become very instrumental in the early establishment of this city and became Pinole’s leading businessman. Dr. Joseph Mariotti lives with his family in the Fernandez Mansion today. A monument on the property says: “The site of Pinole’s birthplace and the center of its activities until the early 20th century. The beginning of Pinole was built on the waterfront and around the mouth of Pinole Creek during the latter half of the 19th Century.”Copyright
