Townsend Home, Historic residence in Stockton, United States.
The Townsend Home, constructed from limestone quarried on site, features Greek Revival architectural elements and stands north of Stockton along Canyon Park Road.
Built between 1851 and 1856 by George Townsend after his return from the California Gold Rush, this residence became part of an 800-acre farm.
The residence exemplifies the New England Upright and Wing architectural style, reflecting the migration patterns of settlers from New York to the Midwest.
Visitors can reach the property by driving 2 miles west on US Route 20 and 1 mile north on Canyon Park Road toward Apple River Canyon State Park.
The limestone house has remained in the possession of the Townsend family for six generations, maintaining its original architectural characteristics since 1856.
