Folks, your article says this property is in the "300 block of Hamilton" but the actual address, according to the link, is 865 Hamilton.

From a 1995 article in SFGate:
"Located in the onetime lobby of the old President Hotel (now used for apartments), Henry's is remembered by local history buffs as the first place to serve a legal cocktail in downtown Palo Alto after a court order in 1971 ended decades of prohibition imposed on the business district by the family of Leland Stanford."
