Pictured: The Fischer-Hanlon house is thought to have been built as a hotel and was located on First Street in Benicia. It was purchased by Joseph Fischer, a swiss-born Benicia merchant, in 1858 and subsequently moved to the lot next to the Benicia Capitol where it is still located today. The house was occupied by descendants of the Fischer family who made additions and renovations over the years. In 1969 the lot, house, and contents were given to the State of California, and the Fischer-Hanlon house became part of the Benicia Capitol State Historic Park.
