Mesick House, Second Empire Victorian house in Sacramento, California, United States.

The Mesick House is a single-family home built in 1875 at 517 8th Street in Sacramento, California, in the Second Empire and Italianate Victorian styles. Its mansard roof places it among the High Victorians of the city, alongside the Stanford, Heilbron and Governors mansions.

The Mesick House was built in 1875 in the Second Empire and Italianate Victorian styles, and takes its name from its original owner, Mary Mesick. It is one of four High Victorians surviving in Sacramento with a mansard roof, alongside the Stanford, Heilbron and Governor's mansions. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house takes its name from Mary Mesick, its original owner. Its mansard roof places it among the few High Victorians left in Sacramento with that feature, alongside the Stanford, Heilbron and Governors mansions. The Second Empire and Italianate detailing shows the taste of a prosperous late-19th-century household.

The home is visible from the street in a residential neighborhood, so approach it respectfully as it remains a private residence. Interior access is typically not available to the public unless special events or tours are announced.

The Mesick House is one of four High Victorians still standing in Sacramento with a mansard roof; the others are the Stanford Mansion, the Heilbron Mansion and the Governor's Mansion. Comparing these four roofs shows how the same Second Empire feature was adapted across the city.
