Stewart's Point

Stewart's Point is a nice little gem located along the rugged Sonoma County Coast. It sports a world class general store that has one of the best delicatessens I've encountered. Never mind that the store is surrounded by abandoned and weathered buildings on all sides.

 

The surrounding ocean front property has been owned by the Richardson family for generations, but from the looks of it, their glory days as ranchers has long past. The current generation owes their lineage to Herbert Archer Richardson who arrived from New Hampshire in 1876 with his new bride and a scant 40 cents in his pocket. The Richardson family still owns and operates the store.

 

This is great spot for the photog who likes to capture abandoned and weathered buildings. Make sure to bring a little extra money for a sandwich. Just a hint: don't think for a minute that you can arrive here with a mere 40 cents in your pocket.
