It is overdue for the county's oldest operating hotel, which has been a State Historic Monument\nsince 1974 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1993.\nFrom their gentle behavior, the identity of these unknown ghosts could be Jose Arano, who built the hotel, or his wife,\nAugustia Castro, whose histories take us back to the very origins of Aptos.\nAugustia's grandfather was a 1798 Branciforte settler, Joaquin Castro, and her father, Rafael, received Rancho Aptos in\n1833 as the county's first Spanish land grant. Rafael Castro's adobe stood where the railroad bridge crosses the freeway\nsouthwest of today's village.\nJose Arano was a cultured Basque forty-niner. He was raised in New Orleans and spoke four languages. Around 1850, on\na site purchased from Rafael Castro, Arano built a grocery store that still stands at Wharf Road and Soquel Drive. Wharf\nRoad was the original main street, connecting the lumber mills to the shipping wharf. In 1851, Jose became the first\npostmaster of Aptos, with the office at his store.\nWhen lumberman F.A. Hihn couldn't entice Southern Pacific to extend its tracks into the county, Hihn built his own\nSanta Cruz-to-Watsonville railroad. In 1875, this allowed Hihn and lumberman Claus Spreckels to loop the coastal railway\ninland at Aptos to reach their remote landholdings. Up until that time, the site of today's Aptos Village was isolated and\nlargely inaccessible.\nJose Arano, who by this time was known as Joseph, intended his store to mark the heart of Aptos but was now bypassed\nby the railroad. In 1878, he constructed a handsome 28-room hotel at Aptos Depot, where he moved his store and post\noffice and added an elegant Victorian saloon.\nThe stately French mansarded hotel and formal gardens gave an air of dignity to the town. His New Orleans-bred taste\nfor French culture led to installation of marble fireplaces from France and massive furniture from his native Spain. Its\noriginal name was the \"Anchor House,\" but it was soon changed to Bayview Hotel.\nIn the mid-1890s, Arano traveled for several years, in part to collect a $1,000 debt. Succeeding, he returned to discover\nhis wife had died in his absence in 1896, leaving the hotel in the hands of their children, Amelia and Ed.\n1\n\n�In 1898, the post office moved across the street to the general store of James Leonard, with son Thomas Leonard the\nnew postmaster. The Leonard building burned the same year and was replaced in 1899 with a new structure financed by\nLeonard's gold mine, which was located a half mile east of La Selva Beach. (This building will also receive a county\nlandmark plaque on May 4.)\nAs Arano became an invalid, he was cared for by daughter Amelia, who ran the hotel. As Aptos historian John Hibble\nrelates, the hotel's fortunes diminished with the lumber industry. In 1915, Amelia converted the hotel into a boarding\nhouse, where Joseph resided until his death in 1928 at the age of 91. That year, the service wing in back of the hotel\ncaught fire, and all local firemen could do was cut it loose from the main building and let it burn.\nAmelia sold the Bayview in 1942 to hardware merchant Fred Toney and his wife, \"Babe.\" They moved the hotel onto the\nformal gardens, and constructed their hardware store in its place. Toney converted the hotel's grocery store into a\npopular restaurant, and Babe had an antique and gift shop there. This inspired them to establish the Village Fair\nantiques cooperative in the 1960s, in a nearby apple-packing shed where Babe had once worked.\nFred Toney suffered health problems in the 1970s and leased the hotel to a series of people who restored and lovingly\npreserved the stately old building. Fred Toney and Babe were killed in a car accident in 1979. Their daughters kept the\nhotel until 1989 when it was sold to Bayview Partners, who now operate it as a bed-and-breakfast and restaurant.\nWhoever the gentle ghosts are that still reside at the Bayview Hotel, their spirit and legacy will be honored by the\nCounty Landmark award, in gratitude to all those who keep their precious memory alive.\n\nSources\n\n\nThis article originally appeared in the San Jose Mercury News, April 26, 1994, p.1B.
