As in the Carson Mansion.  It's right across the street from the Pink Lady, believe it or not.  Here is a chunk of the wikipedia entry for it:

A large Victorian house located in Eureka, California. Regarded as one of the highest executions of American Queen Anne Style architecture, the home is "considered the most grand Victorian home in America." It is one of the most written about and photographed Victorian houses in California, and perhaps, in the United States.  Originally the home of one of Northern California's first major lumber barons, it has housed the Ingomar Club, a private members-only club, since 1950.  Although the front and south-side elevations may be viewed easily from the public street and sidewalk, the home and grounds are never open to the general public.

The photographer in me is saddened by that last part, but I know letting tourists in would just wreck the place.  I remember reading somewhere that it cost around $80 grand in 1886 dollars.  Zoinks!

As famous as it is, I would have never known about the place if it were not for my late friend Sarah Jane.  Somehow she knew that I would appreciate this, and I thank her for taking me there to see it.

This image slipped through the first and second looks of the take from this trip.  From April of 2009.
