This majestic home was built in 1889
for Dr. Hogan J. Ring, a Norwegian immigrant, and his
wife Orcelia Lowe Ring. In the 1920's, Dr. Ring
converted and enlarged the structure to become the
Ferndale General Hospital. Through the years the house
has been a rest home, doctor's office, an American
Legion Hall, and finally an apartment building. The
hospital rooms have now become elegant guest rooms and
the grounds a formal English garden. The Gingerbread
Mansion is a spectacular example of Victorian grandeur
and is one of the most photographed Inns in
California.
The key is located on the second story by the door
on the siding.

By the mid 1880s, Eureka, CA was
becoming the dominant city on Humboldt Bay. Many
elaborate homes were constructed during this period,
none more famous that the Carson Mansion. Built by
William Carson, one of the area's most prosperous
lumbermen, and designed by two of San Francisco's
most uninhibited architects, the Carson Mansion
stands as a monument to American Victorian
Architecture. There are many theories as to why
Carson built such an extravagant home. One claim is
that he wanted to keep his employees working during
a depression in the forest industry. Another
suggestion is that the lavishness of the mansion was
intended to advertise the possibilities of wood as a
construction material. The simplest suggestion is
that he just wanted to create something spectacular.
Whichever theory, the house was two years in the
building and the labor alone is said to have cost
upwards of $75,000. Today it is owned by the Ingomar
Club, a private men's organization. Edition Limited
to 4000.

This Famous view Alamo Square
presents visitors with an excellent example of color
and architecture present in San Francisco. The
townhouses are individual houses which are not
really attached and are referred to by the genteel
English term "Terrace," which is sometimes
used to designate row houses that function together
in an overall design scheme. Designed as a unit, no
two houses are precisely the same. Difference in
porches, gables, window details along with different
color schemes create individuality within
uniformity. The Alamo Square area is considered to
contain some of the "crown jewels" in the
city's "museum" of Victorian treasures.
Edition Limited to 4000.
The key is located in the gable on the center
house.
Size: 9" Wide X 6" High X 1" Deep

Thomas Whaley, the son of a New
York merchant family, constructed his San Diego home
in 1857, seven years after he sailed to California
in search of gold. The Whaley House is the oldest
brick structure in San Diego and features authentic
period furnishings. He purchased the property in
September 1855, which had been the site of the
hanging of the infamous Yankee Jim Robinson in
August of 1852. The North room, originally a
granary, was remodeled and became the County
Courthouse in 1869. From October 1868 to January
1869, the Tanner Troupe Theatre operated out of the
front upstairs bedroom. The Whaley House has been
called the most haunted house in California. It has
been designated as an official haunted site by the
U.S. Department of Commerce. Only 29 other places
have received this same honor.
The key is located in the grass area under the
second bush from the left.
