Another Victorian Mansion

Front of the Mansion


View of the side of the Mansion
This is the George E. Goodman Jr. house on the corner of Randolph and Oak in downtown Napa. Built from 1875 to 1899. The scale is so grand it is hard to capture in one photo. So here are two.

The Holden House

This is the Holden Mansion on the corner of Franklin and Pine in downtown Napa. It was built in 1888. I need to read the wooden sign out front to get the history. The front yard is done up for Halloween.

Migliavacca Mansion

There are so many beautiful Victorian buildings in downtown Napa. This is the
Miglivacca Mansion which was built between 1890 and 1893 in the Queen Ann Style.
It is constructed of fine materials, including select redwood and Italian slate shingles, and and is very ornate. It was originally on Division St but was moved to 4th St.

Punt

I have no picture for today. I have been out at the sailboat races all day. So here is a picture of my cat. Isn't he pretty?

More Trees and Leaves

This is a shot of the entrance to Sterling Vineyards.

Golden Grapevines

Words cannot describe how beautiful the Napa Valley has been this fall. And fall shows no sign of ending. Last year was my 1st fall in the valley and the autumn colors did not las long as it got cold and rained early. I sure need a wide angle lens. Would have shown the landscape better. Took this photo at the entrance to Elhers Estate Winery, just off of Hwy 29 N of St. Helena.
