Pope Estate, Historic estate in South Lake Tahoe, US.

The Pope Estate is a historic home in Camp Richardson, near South Lake Tahoe, California. Its main dwelling is built entirely of wood with shingle-clad siding, and the grounds hold several servants' cabins.

Lloyd Tevis, a former president of Wells Fargo Bank, built this property in 1884 as a summer home. The estate was designed to serve the wealthy Tevis and Pope families during their time at Lake Tahoe.

The rooms are furnished to show how wealthy families lived in the late 1800s, with separate spaces for owners and household staff. Walking through them, you see how different groups in the house had very different daily routines.

Visit during regular opening hours when guided tours are available to explore the entire property. Wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are large and you will walk between multiple buildings to see everything.

The main dwelling is built entirely of wood with shingle-clad siding, and the grounds hold several servants' cabins alongside it. Lloyd Tevis, former president of Wells Fargo Bank, built the house in the 1880s before the Pope family also used it.
