Beverly Ranch, National Historic Place in Redlands, US

Beverly Ranch is an orange grove at 923 West Fern Avenue in Redlands, California, whose main house was built in 1890. Architect Corydon B. Bishop designed the two-story redwood Queen Anne house, which has an asymmetrical plan and a multi-component roof. A wraparound front porch with a balustrade, turned posts and decorative bracketing marks the entrance, and the upper storeys carry shingle siding, balconies, cornice brackets and cresting along the gables.

Will and Elizabeth Eddy established the orange grove in 1888. After Will's death, Elizabeth married John Fisk, and the couple built the main house in 1890. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 2004.

Beverly Ranch is one of the few Southern California citrus groves still in operation; most groves that surrounded it in the late 1800s are gone. Its owners, Will and Elizabeth Eddy and later Elizabeth and John Fisk, were among the wealthy East Coast families who bought Redlands groves in that era.

As a private residence, you can view the property from outside, but the interior is not open to the public. Information about its architecture and history is available through online registers and historical databases.

Beverly Ranch is one of the few citrus groves from Southern California's late-1800s boom still in operation; most groves that surrounded it have since been built over. The redwood house, designed by Corydon B. Bishop, was built in 1890 for Elizabeth Eddy and John Fisk.
