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.

Robert Arneson

Robert Carston Arneson (1930 – 1992) was an American sculptor and professor of ceramics in the Art department at University of California at Davis who was born in Benicia and died in Benicia. He graduated from Benicia High School and spent much of his early life as a cartoonist for a local paper. Arneson studied at California College of the Arts in Oakland, California for his BFA and went on to receive an MFA from Mills College in Oakland, California in 1958. One of his most famous (and controversial) sculptures was a bust of assassinated San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. Photo courtesy of Google.
