Fischer-Hanlon House
In 1849, Joseph Fischer, a Swiss immigrant, came to Benicia. After joining a
butcher partnership, Fischer purchased this lot on July 1, 1858. The
house, reputed to be an old hotel was relocated here. The converted building is
an outstanding example of East Coast Federalist styling, which illustrates
architectural diffusion during the Gold Rush.
