The cottages at 308, right, and 310 16th St. in Pacific Grove have been side by
side for more than a century. Tirzah Ann Bromley, top, and her four children
moved from a house near Hollister, top left, to the home at 308 in 1898.

lirzah Ann Bromley, a widow from
Hollister, paid $650 for the house at
308 16th St in Pacific Grove a century
ago. The house was four years old
when she moved in with her four chil-
dren in 1898. She would live there just
two years before dying of typhoid
fever.
Bromley enrolled her children in
Pacific Grove schools, joined the Con-
gregational Church and was active in
the Rebekah lodge. She cleaned
houses and rented cottages on the
property and boarded a schoolteacher.
Pacific Grove City Hall would be built
across the street in 1912.
Bromley grew up with three sisters

and a brother on a ranch north of Hol-

piled by her great-granddaughter,
Joan Destro of San Jose.
'I'he 100-acre Hollister property was
part of the Pacheco grant when it was
purchased by her parents, Henry and
Mary Ann Chase in 1867.The family
raised wheat barley, alfalfa and hogs,
and later, they were in the dairy busi-
ness.
In 1881, Tirzah Chase married Wil-
liam Bromley in a ceremony at the
family ranch. The groom was a
butcher and sold meatfrom a horse
drawn wagon.
