Andrew McNally House, Queen Anne mansion in Altadena, United States.
Description
The Andrew McNally House is a three-story Queen Anne mansion in Altadena featuring nine bedrooms and extensive period fixtures including gas lamps, steam radiators, and hand-carved woodwork throughout. The building contains seven fireplaces and six bathrooms with original details, while the kitchen has been updated for modern use.
History
The house was designed in 1887 by architect Frederick Roehrig for publishing magnate Andrew McNally and located on Millionaire's Row in Altadena. This prominent setting made it a symbol of wealthy living in the region at the turn of the 20th century.
Culture
The interior features a Turkish Room with Arabic-inspired patterns beneath a rotunda ceiling, reflecting late 1800s fascination with Eastern design among wealthy homeowners. This room choice shows how the mansion's original owner displayed his connection to distant lands and sophisticated tastes.
Practical
The property sits on East Mariposa Street and can be explored by visitors who should allow ample time to view the full interior and exterior details. The location also provides views of neighboring historic homes and the character of the area that made Millionaire's Row distinctive.
