Jefferson Airplane House, 2400 Fulton Street
This mansion, across the street from Golden Gate Park, was purchased by the Jefferson Airplane in 1968. They moved their all personal, musical, business, and pharmaceutical possessions into the building and promptly painted the exterior black. The mansion soon became the epicenter of the hippie scene with Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, and Marty Balin holding court over the whole crazy circus. But times change and so do bands, the Age of Aquarius turned into the age of the Me Generation, Jefferson Airplane turned into Jefferson Starship, and the band put the mansion up for sale in the mid- 80s. Today the legend of those psychedelic days in this mansion lives on with the Airplane's greatest-hits album titled, '2400 Fulton Street'.
