Stow House, Victorian residence in Goleta, United States.
The wooden Stow House at 304 North Los Carneros Road features Victorian architectural elements with a notable wraparound porch and hipped-roof design.
Built in 1873 as a Carpenter Gothic cottage, the house underwent modifications between 1885 and 1915, including the addition of Italianate style elements.
Edgar Whitney Stow, who resided here from 1915 to 1949, conducted agricultural research and served as a State Senator representing local farmers.
The Goleta Valley Historical Society maintains the property and opens it for public visits, allowing exploration of one of the oldest homes in the area.
The residence combines two distinct architectural styles from different periods, with Gothic features merging with later Italianate modifications in its west wing.
