During the summer the cameras are working overtime. This mansion, now a private club, is an amazing sight and should not be missed. I often think of all the cars buzzing down Highway 101 who have never gone 2 blocks out of their way to see this amazing structure. Pity!
The Carson Mansion is an attractive wooden Victorian Mansion that was built by a lumber baron turn of the century, after his home in San Francisco burned after the earthquake. Today the building is a private club and is only open for tours on a limited basis. The gardens are very attractive, even in the off season.
If you like architecture this is a good location to see. Across the street is the "pink lady" also a well knowN home.
I am from the Seattle area and up there we have many stately Queen Ann and Victorian houses. The Carson Mansion is gorgeous, from it's elegant grounds to the top of it's cupola. I will have to contact the Ingomar Club to see if our car club could tour it. I am sure that it is as spectacular looking on the inside as it is on the outside. The other houses around it are nice to look at too. I however have to pass on the gaudy color of paint of the Pink Lady across the street however.
The Carson Mansion is a great attraction to see in Eureka. Its absolutely beautiful! Wish you could go inside to view it but its still just as stunning from the outside! A must see when visiting Eureka.
This is such a beautiful historical mansion with a beautiful view of the ocean. The only thing is you can't get inside to explore it because it was a private group who own this place and won't allow anybody to see it..
I was lucky to be invited to lunch by a member of the club that now occupies this lovely old home. It is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. The attention to detail, and oh my - all the details - are gorgeous!
This building is the most photographed in America, and for good reason! The architecture is absolutely amazing! It is a private club(The Ingomar Club) so you can't go inside, which is a shame as the interior is also beautiful.
If you want to go visit a great old fashioned attraction then this place the Carson Mansion is the one for you, this is also the most photographed attraction and for a good reason The architecture is absolutely amazing and this also has some nice wide porches and the period furnishings are really neat that also fill this mansion. So while in Eureka be sure to go and visit this attraction this is a great attraction to visit while you are in Eureka this is also well maintained.
This is one of the most elegant and beautiful Victorian mansions that I have seen. I wish it was not a private club so that it could be visited to see what must be a wonderful interior,
