Santa Rosa, CA - Melitta Station was built around 1880 and has always served a unique part of Sonoma County's history. It has been used as a country store and post office, rail depot, antique store and family home. Basalt stones from rock quarries in what is now a state park were sent by rail to San Francisco for use as the city's cobblestone streets. The Station was caringly and lovingly converted into a bed and breakfast inn in 1985 and updated in 2007 with a Cal-King Suite and Spa tub/massage room. The Southern Pacific line from Vallejo to Santa Rosa ran right across from the Inn from 1887 to 1935 carrying basalt blocks for paving the streets of San Francisco and tourists to beautiful Santa Rosa city and the Russian River
