Lawrence Fisher was the most flamboyant of the seven very prosperous Fisher Brothers. C. Howard Crane, the great theater architect, was selected to design a magnificent house for him. The result is a 22,000 square foot home situated on four acres of gardens. Hundreds of European craftsmen created interior floors of rosewood parquet, black walnut paneling, numerous marble columns and several walls covered in hand-painted leather. This tour will provide you with information about the house, Lawrence Fisher’s expensive tastes, and the transition of the house to its current use as a cultural center for the Hare Krishna movement.
