Carson Mansion
One of America's most famous Victorian Queen Anne-style wooden mansions, often called the most photographed Victorian building in the country.
The Carson Mansion was built between 1884 and 1886 for lumber baron William Carson. Its towers, fretwork and vivid colors are exuberantly elaborate, making it a showcase of American Victorian architecture. It is now the private Ingomar Club and is not open to the public, so visitors can only admire and photograph it from the street. The Pink Lady mansion across the way is also worth seeing. Located at the eastern end of Old Town Eureka.
