The Emmet House Site is a historical landmark designated by the San Diego, California, government Historical Resources Board.[1] The original construction started in the 1860s. Emmet House Site was constructed as a rooming house and restaurant and was later the location of San Diego's first County Hospital. The hospital operated during the 1870s.[2] A coffin was stolen from the building in 1883.[3] The building was demolished in 1949 but a historical marker has been placed at its original location. .[1]
