A History of 700 Hayes Street
By Gail Baugh

Picturesque and architecturally eclectic, the mansard-roofed, domed tower house at 700 Hayes Street has drawn admiring glances for over 125 years. In the book Victorian Glory, author Paul Duchescherer describes this home as “Italianate/Second Empire/Classical Revival/Queen Anne style…” The large single family residence has been home to five families since its completion in 1884. Originally placed 30 feet west of where it stands today, the property included gardens, a small barn that housed the family cow, and a carriage house located behind the family home on Ivy Street. Asa Fisk and his wife Lydia commissioned architect Edward Hatherton, at one time the City Architect for San Francisco, to design their 15-room home in the grand style.
