Rosecroft, Renaissance Revival mansion in Point Loma, San Diego, US
The 15,000-square-foot Rosecroft estate features nine bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, a wood-paneled library, and formal dining areas with detailed architectural finishes throughout the interior.
Architect Emmor Brooke Weaver constructed the mansion in 1912 for wealthy heiress Marion James Robinson and her husband Alfred, who purchased the land in 1903.
Alfred Robinson developed more than 100 new begonia varieties in the estate gardens and served as the first president of the San Diego Floral Association.
The property includes multiple garages accommodating seven vehicles, a tennis court, indoor racquetball facilities, and extensive outdoor entertainment spaces with pergolas.
Ronald Reagan announced his 1966 gubernatorial candidacy from the mansion's front steps, and the estate later hosted Dr. Seuss's 80th birthday celebration in 1984.
