A. Berding House, Victorian residence in Ferndale, United States
The white wooden A. Berding House at 455 Ocean Avenue features multiple gables and decorative trim in the Carpenter Gothic architectural style.
German merchant Arnold Berding constructed this house in 1875 after establishing the first merchandise store in Ferndale during the California Gold Rush period.
The residence maintains its original 19th-century furniture purchased by Arnold and Mary Berding, reflecting the Victorian lifestyle of early California merchants.
The National Register of Historic Places listed property stands on a high brick foundation that was added in 1888 to address health concerns.
A row of 150-year-old trimmed cypress trees lines the front of the property, leading locals to name it the Gum Drop Tree House.
