History
Established in 1885.
In 1885 William Barrett, Secretary-Treasurer for the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company and his wife Clara built a lavish “casa” on the hillside overlooking Sausalito. In 1906, Barrett sold his home to John Patrick Gallagher, who converted it into the original Casa Madrona Hotel. For nearly 40 years, it was a very successful bed and breakfast. During World War II, the property was used as temporary lodging for military families in transit. After the war, the hotel fell into disrepair, but salvation came in the form of the French Deschamps family who began extensive renovations in 1959 and resumed hotel operations. In 1973, Casa Madrona’s foundation was severely damaged by mudslides, and city officials scheduled demolition. Luckily, John Mays took charge of the mansion and grounds in 1976 and yet another restoration project commenced. In 1980 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a treasured landmark.
