The Nightingale House

The Nightingale House is a masterpiece of the Eastlake Style which also incorporates elements of the Carpenter Gothic, Second Empire and late Italian Villa styles. The house was built in 1882 by John Nightingale, Senior, who was a real estate dealer, property manager, Forty Niner, and President of the Society of California Pioneers. Nightingale was one of the chief builders in the neighborhood, but this "cottage" is all that remains of his extensive holdings in the vicinity.
