History

edit

The house was built in 1884 by Havens & Toepke, for architect Charles I. Havens (1849–1916) personal residence.[3][4] Havens designed several building in downtown San Francisco. The Havens Mansion reflects architecture of 1880s in San Francisco's "Mansion Row" and a still intact carriage house.[2][4] Some sources list the building as Second Empire style (despite no mansard roof),[2][4] and others as an Italianate style and/or Stick style.[5]
