Intended to provide a triple residence for the Chynoweths and growing families of Mary's two sons ([Everis A. Hayes](/source/Everis_A._Hayes) and Jay Orly Hayes), the home's design incorporated the latest [fire safety](/source/fire_safety) features of the day. Early on, the property was self-sufficient, with its own [power plant](/source/power_plant), a [post office](/source/post_office), [railroad station](/source/railroad_station), carriage stop, lodgings for 40 ranch hands, and a chapel. The family grew fruits and vegetables and raised its own livestock. Everis A. Hayes and Jay Hayes went on to help develop the Santa Clara Valley fruit industry and became the publishers of the ''[San Jose Mercury](/source/San_Jose_Mercury)''. Everis Hayes served seven terms in the [U.S. House of Representatives](/source/United_States_House_of_Representatives) as a [Republican](/source/Republican_Party_(United_States)), from 1905 to 1919. Jay Hayes was founder and president of the California Prune and Apricot Growers Association, which later became the [Sunsweet Growers](/source/Sunsweet_Growers) co-operative. Three U.S. presidents visited the mansion during their prominence. The family sold the property during the 1950s, after which the building remained vacant for some time then became dilapidated. Purchased by the City of San Jose in 1985, the Mansion opened as a meeting venue in 1994.{{cite web | url=https://sjtoday.6amcity.com/the-story-behind-san-joses-hayes-mansion | title=The story behind San Jose's Hayes Mansion | date=7 January 2024 }} The building now contains {{convert|33000|ft2|m2}} of meeting space and 214 guest rooms and is surrounded by the {{convert|20|acre|ha|adj=on}} [Edenvale Gardens Regional Park](/source/Edenvale_Gardens_Regional_Park).
