The Hippie House This San Francisco Gothic Victorian style may have been one of the first 1960s “Hippie” communes according to the book Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. In that book, author Tom Wolfe described it: “Up at Fulton and Scott is a great shambling old Gothic house, a freaking decayed giant, known as The Russian Embassy.” In 1967, underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger lived here, making a movie called Invocation of My Demon Brother, which starred Charles Manson family member Bobby Beausoleil and featured music by Mick Jagger. Despite what some ill-informed tour guides may say, Manson himself did not live here.
