During the early days of Creedence Clearwater Revival, back when the they were a junior high/high school band called The Blue Velvets, the Fogerty brothers (John and Tom) lived in the family home at this address.

Tom was a bit older and working on his own musical projects; he didn't join the band until after high school.

John Fogerty lived in the basement. As bandmate Stu Cook put it in a SF Gate article: "John had a basement mentality and he still has a basement mentality."
