HACKETT LANE
Like most of the streets that are perpendicular to Beach Boulevard, those land holders that had cut a roadway on their boundaries to reach the back road had eventually donated or sold the right-of-way to the City in exchange for continued maintenance.

Hackett-Hayden House.
Also known as “Our Anchor.”
A modest, one-story, frame, four-bay cottage with steeply pitched gabled roof. It has an inset gallery with square columns. The home has overhanging eaves, with a late-nineteenth-century cast-iron fence that encloses the property on its south boundary. The tin roof and floor-to-ceiling windows make it a classic design. Restoration was performed by Bill Kidd and contractor Horace Labat. The interior was gutted and remodeled. Some prior owners or tenants were J.J. Hayden, Alfred Stern, James McCutchon, Eugene Hayden.
