Notes
  • Significance: As a private home, and later as an unofficial mansion for two California governors (Leland Stanford and F.F. Low), this building has been closely associated with a number of important social and political events of the period from 1857 (when it was built) to 1874, when the Stanfords moved to San Francisco. Since 1900, under two different Roman Catholic sisterhoods, it has been a focus for orphan children or problem children as well as an occasional center of civic festivities (as in 1939, at the Sacramento centennial). Architecturally it is one of the most impressive residential buildings to survive from the 19th Century; its various revision have resulted in a structure which is a cross-section of architectural fashions and yet a unified whole. The reconstitution of the interiors (after 1939), somewhat as they were in the 19870's, as well as the presence of untouched period fittings, make it a rare example of high Victorian taste of the silver age, comparable to the great houses destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
