Wolfe Manor

The Wolfe Manor (originally known as the Andrews Estate and later as the Clovis Avenue Sanitarium) 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. 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.

Private residence
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.

Sanitarium
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. In 1992 the Clovis Avenue Sanitarium was shut down.

Demolition
In 1996, local entrepreneur Todd Wolfe turned the property into a haunted attraction called “Scream If You Can”. 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. In 2011, Clovis designated the house as "unsafe to occupy." The mansion was demolished on Saturday November 8, 2014.
