I have located a picture of the Maison Riche Restaurant in the Berkley photograph archives; I am trying to find out where this restaurant was located, when it was in operation, who the owner was, and anything else you might have. My husband's great grandfather was a chef at the restaurant; I have a photograph taken prior to 1901 of him with his cooks, but I do not know in which San Francisco restaurant it was taken.
