History

The 4400 square foot home was designed by architect John Marquis and built in 1882. The name comes from its original owner, John Nightingale (1823–1912). The structure was designated as a San Francisco landmark in October 1972.

Notably the last resident of this house was San Francisco Arts Commissioner and San Francisco artist Jo Hanson, who died March 13, 2007.
