Description
The Mortimer Fleishhacker House is a residence in Woodside designed by Greene and Greene, featuring a main structure with a thatched roof and large windows overlooking the Santa Cruz Mountains. The entire property spans 74 acres and contains seven residential buildings.
History
The estate was commissioned between 1911 and 1935 by Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr., who founded Great Western Power and Anglo California Bank. Its construction spanned over two decades during a period of strong economic growth in California.
Culture
The interior design blends English manor aesthetics with California tastes, showing how wealthy families of the early 1900s lived and decorated their homes. This style shaped the entire character of the estate and remains visible throughout.
Practical
The property is privately owned and closed to the public, so visitors can only view it from outside the grounds. The best perspective comes from the public roads surrounding the estate.
