Hinds House, Victorian residence in Santa Cruz, California.
The Hinds House exhibits Stick-Eastlake architectural design with wooden framework, linear decorative elements, and preserved Victorian period details throughout its structure.
Alfred J. Hinds, an English immigrant who became a successful Santa Cruz businessman, commissioned architect John H. Williams to build this residence between 1888 and 1889.
The building represents the architectural evolution of Santa Cruz during the late 19th century, when Victorian-style homes defined the growing California coastal community.
Located at 529 Chestnut Street, the house functions as a guest house with ten rooms, offering weekly lodging options and common areas including a dining room.
The house received one of the first electric light installations in Santa Cruz during the 1890s, marking an early adoption of this technology in the region.
