THE BIG 4 STORY
When the rails of the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific were joined
at Promontory Point, Utah, in the Spring of 1869, the dreams of many
men were realized. Four such men were the Central Pacific’s “Big Four,”
C. P. Huntington, Charles Crocker, Mark Hopkins and Leland Stanford.
These men started from behind the counters of pioneer stores in
Sacramento and, in less than two decades, shouldered their way to
places of national importance. The careers of these four covered a
long and colorful era of Pacific Coast history. These men became San
Francisco’s most distinguished and talked about citizens. All resided
in the most elegant, lavish and exquisite mansions, surrounding the
present location of the Big 4 Restaurant.
The “Big Four” held center stage in California for more than a third of a
century. During that entire period, there was hardly an issue of a Pacific
Coast newspaper or magazine that did not contain reference to some
phase of their varied activities. The wealth of material in this restaurant
attempts to capture, express and re-live that Golden Era, when the “Big
Four” reigned supreme over all aspects of the Pacific Coast.
