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 1856 at Fremont, Ohio and came 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.
