The Wolfe Manor (originally known as the Andrews Estate and later as the Clovis Avenue Sanitarium) [1] was a turn of the century mansion located in Clovis, California.
The manor was once a private residence, sanitarium, and eventually a haunted attraction. The property and home, which is now owned by Todd Wolfe, was forced by the city to stop operating as a haunted attraction, due to it being an "eye-sore" and the cause of neighboring property values to decline. For many years, Wolfe tried to turn the manor into a bed and breakfast, but after not being able to fulfill his plans, the city decided in 2014 to have it demolished. [2] Wolfe Manor was rumored to be haunted and has been featured on various TV shows including My Ghost Story, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files, and MysteryQuest. [2]
The mansion was built in 1922 by Anthony Andriotti as a private residence, measuring 8,000 square feet, said to include a ballroom and five bedrooms, plus a swimming pool in the basement. [2]
In 1935 the mansion became the Hazelwood Sanitarium. In 1942 it became the Clovis Avenue Sanitarium, and in the 1950s it was licensed by the Department of Mental Hygiene. “In 1954 a hospital wing was added to the house where they treated mental disorders,” Campbell notes. [2] In 1992 the Clovis Avenue Sanitarium was shut down. [2]
In 1996, local entrepreneur Todd Wolfe turned the property into a haunted attraction called “Scream If You Can”. [2] Clovis city's Board of Appeals had declared the vacant house a nuisance and a danger after finding 22 building code violations in the house and surrounding property. [3] In 2011, Clovis designated the house as "unsafe to occupy." [3] [4] The mansion was demolished on Saturday November 8, 2014. [5]
According to ghost hunters, the location was haunted, [1] and the building was featured on TV shows, such as Ghost Hunters [6] and Ghost Adventures, [7] and "Dead Files",
