FRED HARVEY EATING HOUSE

Santa Fe passengers transferring to or from the Yosemite Valley trains would
take their meals at the Fred Harvey dining establishment at 24th and K streets.
The Fred Harvey company was well known for outstanding service. In fact local
residents periodically dinned at the Harvey Houses. In the late 1920's the Merced
Harvey House stopped serving meals.
