Carson Mansion, Victorian mansion in Old Town, Eureka, United States
The Carson Mansion stands as a four-story residence with 18 rooms, featuring multiple towers, columned porches, and gables constructed from redwood and mahogany materials.
William Carson commissioned San Francisco architects Newsom Brothers to build this grand residence in 1884, during an economic decline in the lumber industry.
The mansion incorporates architectural elements from Italianate, Eastlake, Stick, and Queen Anne styles, representing the diverse American architectural expressions of the 1880s.
The property belongs to the Ingomar Club, which maintains the structure for preservation purposes, allowing exterior photographs from the public sidewalk.
The mansion's construction required 97,000 feet of white mahogany imported from Central America, combined with local redwood and decorative onyx materials.
