RELH, when I first saw it I thought you sneaked into town and took a photo, but I couldn't recall seeing it here.
It's beautiful and came out great. Good choice of colors that match the period. Very appropriately done.
Do a search for Carson Mansion to see the most famous Victorian in Redwood country. It was built by William Carson in 1884. He was a big timber barren.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-17-18 AT 00:55AM (MST)[p]Eel is the Carson mansion the one in Ft. Bragg that has been fully restored and is very ornate.

Eel I did a search of the Carson mansion and know now that it is located in your home town. Bonnie and I have missed seeing that building during the few times we have been in Eureka.
To build that Victorian today would run over 10 million to duplicate the fine ornate detail in the mansion.

It's kind of ironic, as I was fishing in the Bay yesterday looking over at the Carson Mansion recalling the old days. The house was built on a hill overlooking the sawmill and shipping dock that William Carson and John Dolbeer owned. My father in law worked at that mill until it was sold in 1950.
I was fishing for halibut in my kayak but only managed to catch two leopard sharks, about 4' long. Fun to catch but released before me or the sharks were harmed. You don't want a 4 foot leopard shark in the kayak with you.
