Home of Lola Montez

Home of Lola Montez, Historical residence in Grass Valley, United States.

The Home of Lola Montez at 248 Mill Street is a replica of the building shown in an 1854 sketch, not the 1850s original. The earlier structure on the site served as the Gold Hill Mining Company office in 1851 and as a schoolhouse in 1852 before Montez bought it. The present building houses the Nevada County Chamber of Commerce and a small museum.

The building was purchased in 1853 by Lola Montez and converted from its former use as a schoolhouse into her private residence. She occupied the house until 1855 and used it as a venue for gatherings and performances during the Gold Rush.

Lola Montez bought the building in 1853 and used her salon for parties; there she mentored the young Lotta Crabtree, whose own home stood on the same street. Montez left Grass Valley in 1855. The replica now holds the Nevada County Chamber of Commerce and a small museum.

The replica building at 248 Mill Street houses the Nevada County Chamber of Commerce and a small museum, so visitors can go inside during its opening hours. The site is California Historical Landmark No. 292, registered on 20 July 1938.

The current structure is a replica of the house shown in an 1854 sketch; the original was remodeled over the years and condemned by 1975. It now holds the Nevada County Chamber of Commerce and a small museum, and has been California Historical Landmark No. 292 since 20 July 1938.
