Mann Home (2548 SP Ave.) 1997Description
Mann home: William W. Mann and his wife, Elizabeth, were born in England in 1861. They married in 1882 and immigrated to Pinole in 1886. William was a foreman at the nearby California Powder Works. Their imposing 1895 Victorian home at 2548 San Pablo Avenue, the northeast end of the city, stood out with its high steeple-like cupola. Here they raised their three children — sons Joseph and Robert were born in England, daughter Georgina was born here in 1887. More recently, the home was the Captain’s Cottage, a Victorian-style tea house, and the offices of Old Time Realtors, owned by the late former Pinole mayor Tom Gozzano, who also owned the building.Copyright
