The Ground Floor covers almost 3,200 square feet and is laid with ceramic tile in intricate patterns, a feature found only in the most stylish Queen Anne homes.
The design of the Mansion, with two ornate turrets rising up from the native Sespe stone foundation, is attributed to the architectural team of Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom, the most renowned late-Victorian architects in California.
In February 1981, a devastating fire destroyed the Mansion and if was faithfully and lovingly rebuilt by Mr. and Mrs. Scott Newhall over a two-year period.
The silver lining to the catastrophic event is that today the Mansion is "state-of-the-art" in heating, plumbing, electrical, structural and fire safety with built-in security systems, emergency water tanks, stand-pipes with fire hoses and a complete sprinkler system with rooftop rain birds and flow alarms.
The Second Floor covers almost 3000 square feet and is carpeted throughout. Each bedroom has a fireplace, bath, stained-glass windows and a distinctive theme.
