Biography | The following is taken from the description of the Italianate home on President's Hill in Monterey, on OldHouses.com. Some of the information on the family conflicts with other records, so I will need to look into it. The historic James W. Finch house, originally built in 1870 and on the National Register of Historic places. The home is also listed under the Mills Act and has a significant tax benefit that is transferable upon sale of the property. The current owners have preserved and updated this distinguished Monterey home high above Old Town Monterey. The home has an important past in the history of Old Monterey and will continue for many years to come. With unbelievable Bay and Mountain views you will sit in the front porch swing and watch the sail boats and activity on the bay. The main home features 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths that have been recently updated with new tile and Carrera marble of the era. Upon entering the foyer you will take notice of the period wall paper and wood banister staircase. Continue on and you enter the large parlor with the original iron fireplace front and 11 foot ceilings. The formal dining room offers bay views and a beautiful antique cut crystal chandelier. The property has a two car tandem garage built to resemble a period out building, with a 630 square foot upstairs studio with a half bath. Historic Overview James William Finch was born in Connecticut in 1830. He came to California in 1854, opening a fruit store in Monterey. In 1859 his brother Charles and his mother Julia Finch joined him and together for about a year they operated the Washington Hotel. In 1860 the family moved to Jamesburg in the upper Carmel Valley to raise horses, which were sold to the Union Army as remounts. James was attacked and wounded by Indians on the way to deliver horses in Salt Lake City. There he spent several years recovering among the Saints, establishing a business and making many friends before returning to Monterey. The house on Monroe street was constructed in 1870 by James and his brother Charles for their mother. The original parcel of land was 500 x 500 just over 5 acres which eventually was sold off in subdivided lots. After Julia Finch’s death in 1881, James and his bride Ellen Louise O’Neill-Finch occupied the home. Their only child, Alma was born in the house in 1884. Ellen’s father, Major John O’Neill an early Monterey Mayor spent his last year with his daughter and her husband in the house. The Finch’s were regular participants in live productions at the First Theater. Many noted artists and thespians were noted for attending elaborate parties at the Finch home. At one time the artist Charles Rollo Peters resided in a cottage on the property before moving to his own parcel of land now known as “Peters Gate”. Recently a Charles Rollo Peters painting of the home was on display at the Monterey Museum of art. In the 1920’s Alma and her husband, Monterey Barber Otto Fleischer remodeled the interior of the home into three apartments and they occupied one. Alma maintained the house after her husbands death in 1931, and until her own passing in 1970. | |

Obituary | 8 January 1911 | 8 January 1911, San Jose, California, San Jose Mercury News Obituary:. James W. Finch, Pioneer of California, Is Dead Had Been a Resident of Monterey Since 1854, Was Prominent Rancher Drove Band of 200 Horses Across Plains to Utah in 1870 Monterey, Jan 7: James W. Finch, a well-known and highly respected pioneer of Monterey County, died at the family residence on Franklin and Monroe streets at a late hour last night. Few of the early pioneers were more favorably known than Mr. Finch. He came to California in the year 1854 and had resided in this county continuously since. Upon moving to Monterey County, the late James Finch engaged in farming and stock raising with his brother, Charles Finch, in the Jamesburg district. In 1870, he, with several others, drove a band of horses across the plains to Utah and while on this journey he met with several encounters with the Indians, who tried to massacre the entire party and make way with the horses. Finch gave battle and succeeded in reaching Utah with but a small loss from the band, which numbered 200 at the beginning of the journey. After an absence of several years he returned to his home in California, residing on his ranch here until 1881, when he returned to this city in December. Mr. Finch married Miss Nellie O'Neal, the daughter of Major O'Neal, also a pioneer of the State. The issue of this union was two daughters, Mrs. Otto Fleischer and Miss Ethel Finch. For several years the deceased conducted a livery stable in the vicinity of the old Washington Hotel, retiring from the business after a few years. A little less than two years ago, Mr. Finch was stricken with paralysis, which confined him to his home. The funeral service will be held from the family residence on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. Mr. Finch was well known in Santa Clara County. |
