A California Treasure

Friday, May 2, 2008


This week I was working up along the North Coast of California in the town of Eureka. I took a few minutes out of my busy schedule to shoot a few photos. This one is of the Carson Mansion in old town Eureka. The mansion is now used as a Private club.


The Carson Mansion is a large Victorian house located in Old town Eureka California. Considered one of the highest executions of Queen Anne Style architecture ,the home is the most recognizable landmark on the California North Coast. It is one of the most written about, and photographed Victorian houses in California, and perhaps in the United States.

Love all the "gingerbread" on thisstately old mansion. The dark broody clouds in the background really set the picture off.

Sorry for the double post. My trigger finger got the best of me.

Impressive.

The oldest Seaside Resort Town is Cape May NJ. It is home to, and most well known for having some of the most beautiful Victorian homes in the country but I don't think any of them are as ornate as this one.

Looks like it could look sinister at night ;)
