Halliwell Manor has housed three generations since it was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1906 when it was completely destroyed. The original house was built in 1898 and located in the San Francisco on 1329 Prescott Street. Charmed Blooper: In episode 7, The Fourth Sister, Leo puts up lost cat flyers for Kit the Cat with the address 7571 Prescott Street. Since then the address has been changed to 1329 Prescott street and has stayed that way ever since.
The Halliwell Manor was built on the Spiritual Nexus. Metaphysical mythology believed that when a geographical point is equidistant from the five spiritual elements, it's a place of great power. The 5 Spritual Elements are: The Bay (water), Natural hot springs (fire), Kenwood Park (wood), Twin peaks, highest point in the city (earth), and Mountain Lake Park (metal) where the sisters panned for gold as kids. Putting the Manor in the center of a pentagram a battleground for good and evil.
The first generation to live in the manor were 3 cousins P. Bowen, P. Russell, and P. Baxter (the Charmed Ones Great-Grandmother). The cousins ran a Speakeasy out of the manor. P. Russell (died in the house), Phoebe's past life, read client fortunes. P. Bowen, Prue's past life, was a photographer, and P. Baxter, Piper's past life provided the entertainment with the help of her piano playing husband Gordon Johnson. Penelope "Grams" Johnson and her husband Alan Halliwell owned the house next with their daughter Patty. In the 1960's, they opened the house to several witches and whitelighters (including a young Leo) for parties. Alan Halliwell was killed in the Manor in January 1967. After Grams died in 1998, the house was left to the Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and now Paige. Victor Bennett now holds the deed to the Manor and P3. Several evil beings have tried to take over the manor including Cole, Zankou, and Phoebe when she was possessed, to name a few. During the big battle with Zankou at the end of Season 7, The Charmed Ones had to use the "How to Banish a Suxen" spell, which is Nexus spelled backwards. It was a spell put into the Book of Shadows to destroy the Nexus in case evil ever got control of it.
Phoebe and Wyatt were the only two family members born inside the Manor. This made it easy for the Woogyman to possess Phoebe, because she is the most connected to the house.
The Halliwell Manor was destroy in the eighth and final season of Charmed durning the original big battle with the Ultimate Power aka Billie and Christie. Billie and The Charmed Ones went back in time to right before the battle began and successfully changed the outcome and in doing so restored the Manor back to it historical splendor for all the future generations of Halliwell off-springs and friends to enjoy.
