A. S. Bradford House
A. S. Bradford House, Georgian Revival mansion in Placentia, United States.
Description
The A. S. Bradford House is a Georgian Revival mansion in Placentia featuring 15 rooms, a full basement, and a broad front veranda with Colonial Revival columns. The structure spreads across roughly 6,000 square feet and displays the hallmark features of this architectural movement.
History
Albert Sumner Bradford hired architect James Stafford in 1902 to design this residence on former citrus groves. The construction marked a shift in the region from purely agricultural land to a prosperous residential community.
Culture
The house embodies the region's farming past, as Bradford helped establish local fruit cooperatives and farmer networks that shaped how the area developed. These connections remain visible in how locals understand the place's roots.
Practical
The building is open to visitors and functions as a museum and event space where you can walk through the rooms in their original layout. Those wanting to see it in detail should check ahead, as access times and conditions can vary.
Did you know?
The veranda connects to the second floor through an unusual architectural solution where the roof creates a distinctive transition zone. This detail shows how architects of rural estates around 1900 cleverly blended traditional and modern building ideas.
