About the host
Hosted by Breanna Reish
Hi, I am Breanna the owner of The Bauman House. I was born and raised in Southern California. My family moved to Sonora around 2003 and I love to visit as much as possible with my own little family.
Why they chose this property
My mom owns Fittin' Pretty, a women's clothing boutique, located downtown. We spent countless hours downtown helping her launch her shop. Every time we visit we spend a lot of time downtown. This means that we drive on Washington street and past all of the cool old houses often. There was always this one yellow house with the porch, the one that always made us smile. Well, one day we found out it was for sale. We put in an offer immediately. Most people look at the inspection reports, and all that formal stuff. We did that but we also dug up the history of the house and fell even more in love. We wanted to share our sweet little piece of Sonora's history with others. We want people to visit that have never heard of the place before. Last but not least we want to support the local economy by supporting the amazing small business owners downtown.
What makes this property unique
The Bauman House tax roles say that it was built in 1865. We dug even deeper to find the real history of the home. Hours upon hours of searching helped us get to the real story. Here is a brief summary:
John Bauman moved to Sonora and opened the first Sonora Brewery in the 1800's. It was located right up the street but it ended operations in the early 1900's (a book with some history can be found in the home).
John and his wife had a good amount of children, ome of then was named George Bauman.
Mr. Willisten came to Sonora to find gold in the streets. Literally people would come here to look for gold in the mine tailings that were dropped in the streets. His wife joined him at a later date.
Mr. Willisten owned the property that The Bauman house sits on today.
Their daughter married George Bauman. Together they built The Bauman House. A historical society survey says this was done in 1910.
They had two daughters. One of the daughters participated in "The Voices of History" series with Columbia College. Her oral interview took place in 1989 and can be found online. In that interview she talks about her family, growing up in the house and in the town of Sonora.
Little fun facts: The house is located across the street from The Bonanza Mine & we planted a cherry tree in the backyard to pay respect to The Bauman Family. They had two in the front yard and one of the trees was taken out by cattle in the early 1900s.
Once the historical society opens back up we should have more photos and history to provide for our guests.
