McDonald Mansion, Victorian residence in Santa Rosa, United States
Description
McDonald Mansion is a Victorian residence in the Stick style located in Santa Rosa, built on a foundation raised about 7 feet above ground level. A broad staircase leads to a columned veranda that wraps around the entire structure.
History
The house was built in 1877 and served the McDonald family as a summer retreat while they kept their primary home in San Francisco. It later became their permanent residence after the family relocated to Santa Rosa.
Culture
The residence blends architectural features from Northern and Southern California, with tall rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and deep porches that reflect regional preferences. Visitors can experience this regional design mix directly while walking through the spaces.
Practical
The residence is located at 1015 McDonald Avenue within a 160-acre residential neighborhood bearing the family name and connecting to downtown Santa Rosa. It sits in an established area that is easy to navigate and locate.
Did you know?
The residence features a modified hip roof with dormer windows that departs from typical Stick style design, which usually emphasizes vertical lines and tall gables. These elements give the house a distinct appearance among structures built during the same era.
