NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS IN CALIFORNIA. FROM 1874 TO 1902 THEY
BUILT FREIGHT, PASSENGER, CABLE AND STREET CARS. THEIR PLANT
BECAME NEWARK’S FIRST INDUSTRY. THEIR CABLE CARS ARE STILL
IN OPERATION ON SAN FRANCISCO HILLS.

LEBRECHT AND BROTHER MAX ERHMAN, SOLOMON EHRMAN BUILT THIS BRICK STRUCTURE IN 1894. THE ERHMAN GENERAL STORE SERVED FOR YEARS AS THE WELLS FARGO OFFICE.
