Frank P. Frary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank P. Frary (December 7, 1856 – August 16, 1911) was an American Republican politician from California.
Frank Phineas Frary was born in Fremont, Ohio and moved to San Diego, California, in 1875. He owned a bee ranch at Capitan Grande, near El Cajon, and operated a stage line in San Diego County, including a mail contract between San Diego and Julian. He was mayor of San Diego for two terms, during 1901–1905.
In 1903 police raided Madam Ida Bailey's Canary Cottage, a house of prostitution in the Stingaree District however, the usual advance warnings were not made and the raid caught long-time customers Mayor Frary and the chief of police.
Frary's 1904 Craftman style home at 3227 Grim Ave in North Park is now a bed and breakfast.
