Scope and Content

Constructed 1845, 1778-85 respectively; renovated 1887, 1953, early 1980s. Lots 7 and 8 of the original Grand Modell served as the site for a succession of commercial and residential buildings. Earlier structures were destroyed in the fires of 1740 and 1778. The northernmost section at 81 East Bay street was formerly occupied by a brick house and countinghouse built by Robet Lindsay that stood 3½ stories high. Much of this building collapsed in the earthquake of 1886. The first 2 floors of 79 East Bay Street were part of a corner 2-story grocery store operated by Henry Bulwinkle and later operated by John Henry Klenke. The Gaud School used the building from 1940 to 1953, but it was converted into residential units in 1953. The present building retains a late-19th century bracketed frieze and cornice at the parapet line in a range of seven, two-over-two windows on the second floor. Crossed earthquake bolts run through the upper portion of the structure. File contains FOH House History (undated); other narrative histories; newspaper articles (including DYKYC); captioned newspaper(?) photo of 1886 earthquake damage to the building.
