History
[edit]The Casebolt House was designed by architects Hoagland and Newsom,[5] and built in c. 1865 for Henry Casebolt (c. 1816–1892), a Virginia-born blacksmith, and transit business magnate.[6][7] He was the owner of the Sutter St., Polk St., and Larkin St. cable car lines;[7][8] and he manufactured and imported his cable cars, and carriages.[9] Casebolt lived in the house with his wife and eleven children,[10] until his death in 1892.
The Casebolt House is four stories tall with 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in roughly 5,875 square feet (545.8 m2); it has a large garden, and the house is set away from the street. It contains a balcony with a good view.[10] Like many California buildings at the time period, the house was built with salvaged materials.[1]
The home was owned by Judge Carlos Bea and Louise Bea.[11]
