CARSON MANSION EUREKA CALIFORNIA - HOME OF A LUMBER BARON
If there is only one photo of an American Victorian building in an architecture history book, it will usually be of this house. Carson owned a sawmill on brow of a hill next to the ocean bay in Eureka, California. There was a recession, so lumber sales were very low. To keep paying his millworkers, he had them build a new home 1884-1885. It kept his workers paid for until the economy returned to purchasing lumber. In the 1800s they did not use the terms Recession or Depression. Back then a term for similar conditions was called a Panic.
In the 1800s, financial downturns could be caused by many people withdrawing their money from bank accounts caused by wide spread panic caused by many people loosing confidence in the security of their money in a bank. Panics could be caused by the lack of financial controls, regulation and when someone misusing a financial system, manipulating elements of the economy with ploys such as cornering a market of a commodity, selling counterfeit shares of stock, false news - things that developed during the developments of the Industrial Revolution and perpetrated by some captains of industry known as Robber Barons.
William Carson was apparently a good captain of industry. His employees were kept busy with all the millwork, painting and many ornaments were hand carved. This house has only four bedrooms. A docent said it really is not a big house. There are many mansions with much larger area. Carson also built another house across the street as a wedding gift to his son J. Milton Carson, an elaborate Queen Anne style home with pink as the field color, white highlights and elements with the Eastlake style. J. Milton Carson House 1889 - NRHP Historic District. Newsom and Newsom Architects designed the home and many others in northern California.
The city of Eureka has about 20 blocks of Victorian buildings. The city has fine arts, hotels, restaurants and it worth a week vacation. Airline flights land nearby in Arcadia. There are also Victorian homes in other towns nearby such as Ferndale to the south by the Pacific Ocean.
In the Twentieth Century, after 1950, the Carson house was saved from decay when a private organization was formed to be it's caretaker, the Ingomar Club. Only club members may visit the home. (The interiors are awesome! Dark wood paneling and moldings everywhere!) To be a club member you must volunteer as a docent, be able to give tours of the building while giving intellient talks about its history and architecture. To be a docent, typically a person needs to be resident of the area. However there is an exception for guest docents. The estate is at 143 M Street next to the oceanside great bay in Eureka, far northern California, zip code 95502-1354.
Includes 97,000 feet of white mahogany.

Carson Mansion / Woodley Island Marina - Aerial Views - 4K
One of the areas most recognizable landmarks, the 1884 Carson Mansion may well be the ultimate Victorian. Built by lumber magnate William Carson to keep 100 of his workers employed during a slump in the timber industry, the mansion’s towers and turrets, columned porches, multiple gables and ornate gingerbread detail—not to mention the paint job—evoke everyone’s ideal of how a Victorian should look.
Woodley Island Marina is the largest marina on Humboldt Bay. Woodley Island is also the headquarters for the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District. This full-service marina provides slips for commercial and recreational vessels, guest docking facilities, hoists, work area, café and bar, laundry, ships chandlery and boat sales, rentals and lessons.

There is a place on Earth that comes from heaven, and it is called Eureka, and of course, it is in California.
The climate, the freshness and the scenery the day of this drone flight are the reasons why people move to Eureka.
This place, and another spot on the Eureka Boardwalk where I filmed two other drone flights are two of the most stunning places I've ever seen, and it seems these flights capture some of that feeling pretty well.
Thanks for watching!
