m GH-1959 moved page Sir and Star to Olema Inn (historic building): Removed the rampant commercialism of this article -- it was focused on a 4-year old restaurant called "Sir and Star."! But the building itself is a landmark. |

During the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]] the road near the inn was heavily damaged. In 1910 [[Henry Fielding Reid]] of the State Earthquake Investigative Commission stated his opinion that Olema was the earthquake's [[epicenter]] <ref name="reid 1910" /><ref name="reid 1910" />. This was later disproved, and the epicenter was found to be about two {{nbsp}}miles west of San Francisco.<ref name="USGS" /><ref name="USGS" /> The inn survived the earthquake. |

Sir and Star is a restaurant founded in 2012. It is located in The Olema, a historic restaurant and inn built in 1876. The restaurant is at the corner of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Star Route One in Olema, California. Olema is located in West Marin County 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) from the Bear Valley portal to the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Early days
[edit]
The building was constructed by the area's original Spanish land grantee, Rafael Garcia, in 1876 as part of a 9,000-acre (3,600 ha) land grant from Mexico. John Nelson, the stage coach company owner that ran a stage from Olema to San Rafael, won the inn from Felix Garcia, Rafael's son, in a game of chance. The Nelsons owned the inn for three generations thereafter. The inn was a popular place of respite for local workers.[1][2]
The name Olema has significant historical heritage originating from the over 125 adjacent Miwok Indian villages. In the Miwok language, Olemaloke roughly translates to "little coyote".[3]
During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake the road near the inn was heavily damaged.[citation needed]
In 2006 the inn and restaurant went on the market for US$ 3.6 million.[2]
In 2010 the Olema Inn was purchased by chefs Daniel DeLong and Margaret Grade, repainted from bright white to nearly black, and rechristened as Sir and Star at The Olema.[4] Sir and Star is a portmanteau of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Star Route One.
