Home of Lola Montez, Historical residence in Grass Valley, United States.
The wooden structure at 248 Mill Street features architectural elements from the 1850s Gold Rush period, with a restored exterior and modern interior modifications.
Irish performer Lola Montez purchased this building in 1853, transforming the former schoolhouse into her private residence and social gathering space until 1855.
During her time in the house, Lola Montez mentored young performer Lotta Crabtree and hosted social gatherings that brought together artists and local community members.
The building now functions as office space, and visitors need prior permission to access the interior of this California Historical Landmark number 292.
Lola Montez maintained a pet bear on the property and conducted her famous entertainment performances in the house's salon during the Gold Rush era.
