THE BIG 4 STORY When the rails of the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific were joined at Promontory Point, Utah, in the Spring of 1869, the dreams of many men were realized. Four such men were the Central Pacific s Big Four, C. P. Huntington, Charles Crocker, Mark Hopkins and Leland Stanford. These men started from behind the counters of pioneer stores in Sacramento and, in less than two decades, shouldered their way to places of national importance. The careers of these four covered a long and colorful era of Pacific Coast history. These men became San Francisco s most distinguished and talked about citizens. All resided in the most elegant, lavish and exquisite mansions, surrounding the present location of the Big 4 Restaurant. The Big Four held center stage in California for more than a third of a century. During that entire period, there was hardly an issue of a Pacific Coast newspaper or magazine that did not contain reference to some phase of their varied activities. The wealth of material in this restaurant attempts to capture, express and re-live that Golden Era, when the Big Four reigned supreme over all aspects of the Pacific Coast.
