    Built on the corner lot, then moved

    Fernando Nelson built the house on what is now the site of 709 Castro Street, part of his large corner lot at Castro and 20th, where the undeveloped portion was raised behind a stone retaining wall and held a garden and a fountain fed by a spring on the site. By 1950 the house had been moved to its present position to make way for a single-storey wood-frame garage on the original site; the garage was later demolished and the house raised over basement garages.
