Bernardo Fernandez House, Second Empire French mansion in Pinole, California.
The 22-room Bernardo Fernandez House features tall first-floor windows with brackets, a central projecting pavilion, and arched dormer windows at 100 Tenant Avenue.
Portuguese immigrant Bernardo Fernandez constructed this residence in 1894 after establishing himself as a merchant and expanding his land holdings to 20,000 acres.
The architectural design combines French Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Northern Italian styles, representing the wealth of early California settlers in Contra Costa County.
The residence maintains its original features, including stick trim panels, a mansard roof, and a full-height slanted bay with a pedimented gable roof.
The Mariotti family acquired the property in 1969, preserving vintage vehicles and a recovered schooner named Carlotta that sank in the early 1900s.
