Caption:   Automobile parked in front of Bernasque's Hotel. In 1910, Victor Bernasque built a hotel at Five Points, and moved the structure of the original Five Points House to the rear of the property. Local newspapers gave excellent reviews of the French food served at Bernasque's Cafe. In 1919, the property was leased to C. Tognoli and J. Garofili, both of San Francisco, who changed the name of the hotel to The Fly Trap Inn. Five Points was the intersection of El Camino Real, Redwood Avenue, Woodside Road, Main Street, and Spruce Street. The four men shown sitting in the parked automobile are unidentified.
