c. 1975
The house was built (c. 1869) at the corner of Pacific and Gough for Rudolph Spreckels who had it moved west in 1900 to make way for his mansion.

The house was leased to Theodore + Eleanor Roosevelt at one time. Mrs Roosevelt wrote about the house in her book Day Before Yesterday : the Reminiscences of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr (Doubleday, 1959).
