Visiting the Carson Mansion - Historical Victorian in Eureka CA - Spooky on a Foggy Day!

Hello and Good Morning Everyone. Thanks for going along on our adventures. I'm buried from having "unplugged" for a couple of days....but it was so worth it. We can't wait to go back and are planning Thanksgiving around another trip. Have a great day and enjoy it!

Don, I don't think many people would have the means to build such a place. You can read more about it here. The comments about the house, it's design and such are very interesting.

.....mix of every major style of Victorian Architecture, including but not limited to the following styles: Eastlake, Italianate, Queen Anne (primary), and Stick, depending on which expert one consults.One nationally known architectural historian described the home as "a baronial castle in Redwood..." and stated further that "The illusion of grandeur in the house is heightened by the play on scale, the use of fanciful detail and the handling of mass as separate volumes, topped by a lively roofscape.

Truly amazing. Thanks for the visit! Have a beautiful day!

Hello Rebecca, yes....I have to say that it did go that way and I'm picking the post by those that suit this week as they will not be as much fun later. I told David....can you believe that Raven....sitting there and waiting for me to take his photo. Loved it! Have a good week and enjoy the Season, girl! It is fun!

Hello Maureen, it looks like a movie set. I was totally laughing about the Raven just posing for us. David did not care but I was snapping away. We have different purposes and that is fun. The whole fog thing was interesting and then the spider web....too funny. Thanks for stopping by. We found a whole new area that we don't know a lot about and it will be fun to explore. I love learning about the History of things. Have a great week!

Hello John, I think you are busy with escrows and inspections. What a good thing. You are usually first to comment. I like it better when you have tons of business. Thanks for the visit. This was totally fun. I can't wait to go back. I'm buried but hey.....I had such a good time! Have a beautiful day!

Hello Cheron, thanks for taking a peek at this amazing Victorian. David was telling me all about it but I was still amazed when I saw it. The links are facinating and show you the inside. Lots of beautiful wood scroll work and rich decor. Takes you back in time and you can feel the history. Have a great day and thanks for the visit!

Kwee, thanks for visiting the Carson Mansion with us. We did have a good time. There is one of my "wildlife" photos. Not as amazing as your photos are but a beginning. The composition of that photo is interesting. I had others....but this one turned out the best. Have a beautiful day!

Andrea, I did this post just for you and because of the Season. It's more fun now than it will be next week. You can see inside in the link on the post. It is the offical website of the Ingomar Club and how they want to promote the Mansion and the Club. It does show you photos of the inside. Very rich. Take a peek! Have a beautiful day!

Joni, thanks for the visit. I think the "Private" part is taken seriously. There are signs posted everywhere. The website link in the post provides a rather vague description of who the Club is and provides more information on the "historical aspects" of the Mansion. It's all interesting. You can actually see the inside of the Mansion on their website. Have a beautiful day!

Hello Rose, I don't like Spiders, myself. This web was beautiful, however. It had dew on it and the light coming through it. I will have to see if I can zoom in to get the detail better....someday....soon! Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

Hello Carol, you would enjoy seeing it. It truly is quite amazing. Rarely do we see circumstances that can support the maintenance of such a Mansion. Victorian houses are much like wooden boats. It takes a small country to own and support them or maybe it is that a small country cannot afford to support them....LOL! I forget which is the right quote.....you get the idea. You would enjoy seeing it. Have a beautiful day!

Toni, thanks for stopping by. I don't know if it is haunted. I think all historical places and things are haunted in some respects. I remember visiting "George Washington's Mount Vernon" estate and I could feel all kinds of strange things there. I felt that same type of "field" around this Mansion. I like it....but it creeps me out at the same time. I just love learning the history after I've felt that phyiscal field. Have a beautiful day!

Pam, we gad a wonderful time and although we could feel the Ghost of Time Gone By, no other Ghosts were hanging around. The building does have a presence and that is for sure. We just had to learn about it and that is the fun part. Thanks for stopping by. Always nice to hear from you. Have a beautiful day!

Andrea, I have to say that when I got out of the car.......I was like WOW is this something or what. I'm glad you took a peek inside. It is pretty amazing. It is good when historical buildings are preserved. We have a beautiful "Art Deco" Theatre here in Redding that was restored and saved. It is beautiful and the cultural center fo the City of Redding. Have a wonderful day!

Hello List, thanks for stopping by. Yes, we got some interesting shots for the Season. Hurrying to get them out this week. Have a great day!
