Additional commentary.
1. Misspelled
Note that the word " HISTORICAL " was misspelled. The cost to correct this exceeded their budget, so it remains as is.

2. Rowland Macy's Name
Unfortunately, "historical" was not the only misspelling but Rowland Macy's name was spelled without the "W", as well. On 20 May 2021, the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West will be rededicating a new plaque on this site with corrected text.
