Alfred Haines House
Alfred Haines came to San Diego in 1887 at the height of the Boom and was admitted to the California Bar that same year. By the turn of the century he had become recognized as an authority on water rights. He initially lived in Chula Vista, but decided to make upscale Golden Hill his home in 1908. Master architects William, Charles and Edward Quayle designed his three-story Craftsman-style home boasting 5,500 square feet, including two libraries, seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Haines used the house as both his home and law office from 1908 through his death in 1934. Members of the Haines family occupied the house until the mid-1980s, which accounts for its great condition. It is listed on the San Diego City Register of Historic Sites and National Register of Historic Places.
