Extra rare! Pico House Office. Pay Bearer 50 cents. Signed by John Whitney. Dated Feb. 5, 1879. 3.5 x 4.5" Toning. Pío Pico, a successful businessman who was the last Mexican Governor of Alta California, ordered construction of a luxury hotel in the growing town of Los Angeles. The architect was Ezra F. Kysor, who also designed the Cathedral of Saint Vibiana, and it was constructed between 1869 and 1870. The resulting Italianate three storey, 33-room hotel, dubbed Pico House (or Casa de Pico) was the most extravagant and lavish hotel in Southern California.
