Julia Morgan House, Mediterranean Revival mansion in Elmhurst, Sacramento, United States.
The Julia Morgan House is a Mediterranean Revival residence in Elmhurst. The symmetrical structure distributes windows evenly across its facade, decorated with carved friezes and metal details, while teak wood flooring and finished surfaces characterize the interior.
An affluent patron commissioned Morgan, California's first licensed female architect, to design this home as a wedding gift in 1918. The commission marked an important moment in recognizing Morgan's talent and her capacity to create substantial residences for prominent families.
The house reflects the design approach Morgan favored for affluent clients, with flowing lines and refined craftsmanship visible throughout. Visitors can observe how the architect created spaces that balance elegance with livable comfort.
The house now serves as an event venue operated by Sacramento State University and can be reserved for various occasions. Visitors should check ahead about accessible areas, as the space is used flexibly depending on bookings.
The crafted elements were created by artisans who also worked on the celebrated Hearst Castle in San Simeon. This connection reveals how Morgan's projects drew the finest available craftspeople and artisans.
