FISCHER-HANLON HOUSE (1850)
137 West G Street
This charming residence was once a Gold Rush hotel on first Street. Following a fire in 1856, it was purchased by a Swiss-born Benicia merchant, Joseph Fischer, who had the building moved to its present location. Here, he had it turned around, added porches, a kitchen, servant's quarters, and privies.
This project was made possible by the Benicia Public Library, the Benicia Historical Museum, and the Benicia Historical Society through a NorthNet Library System Grant.
