During my visit, this stunning mansion was booked for a wedding, so I wasnt able to see the inside. But the outside is wonderful enough to stare and get some amazing photos.Sister house is the pink lady, she is across the street from Carson mansion and just as stunning as her brother.

The Ingomar Club - is Famous for all the right reasons: fascinating history, architecture beyond compare, and the most photographed home in CA...up until the the 1950s - a private home.

Super cool mansion. No good views or photo ops though. Gated and fenced-in property. Only good view has ugly shade canopies covering entryway. Shame it is not more accessible to public..

Beautiful gothic-y, so many details!! Victorian? Restored mansion turned into private club... Worth the extra 10-15 min to go see it, due to itsy magnificence...

Truly a fairytale like structure. Complex combination of Gothic, French and Italian architecture.

What a beautiful place. The Carson Mansion is beautiful, but the houses all around it are also stunning. The brick adds to such a trip back in time experience. Stained glass windows, outstanding architecture and bold color schemes make this area really one of a kind.

Nice historic building with unique architecture. Its worth a visit if you are in the area. Also dont miss the pink house across the street.

Best Victorian I have ever seen. Largest as well. Paint job and woodwork derails are exceptional. A must see if you are in the area.

Cool historic building to take photos of, nice event venue.

Nice and very interesting to look at but I wish its open to the public for a tour inside.

A beautiful mansion with unique design.

Awesome Victoria house. Beautiful place.

Good for them,but not for us.

Beautiful Queen Ann style mansion, it took my breath away when I first saw it. Wonderful to photograph.

If you are into architecture this place is a unique and rare jewel.

Its an extremely intricate home it is not really that far from the redwoods, If you are into that sort of thing I suppose its worth driving a bit South to check it out.

Nice place. Just wish you able to more of it.

I highly recommend for all your tourists to go through Eureka to go and see and photograph the beautiful Carson mansion it is indeed one of the most wonderful and beautiful mansions houses in the way I believe in the whole wide world so all you tourist out there if when you open when you go through Eureka be sure and go see the beautiful Carson mansion there are no tours through it but you can see it from all from the outside again is just absolutely beautiful and such a wonderful sight to see

Love the victorian design of this mansion, but cannot go inside. Not accessible to public. What the heck!

Beautiful example of Victorian architecture that has been meticulously maintained.

I wish I could have been the lady of this house! One of the most beautifully crafted homes I have ever seen!

Good photo op site, and thats about it.

One of the most beautiful mansions in America. A true hidden gem in Eureka

This place is a tease. So beautiful and made to sound like this wonderful place to visit. Its touted as one of the most historical places in Eureka but you only get to appreciate it from outside the iron fence. You have to be a member or invited by a member. That was disappointing. Id love to see them offer limited tours at least. I feel like their hoarding history.

Although not accessible to the public, the exterior alone is a spectacular sight! Quoted as the most photographed house in America this Victorian beauty is worth checking out! Right across the street is the Pink Lady, you cant miss it; two excellent example of Victorian architecture!

Cool place, we would buy it to live in, but its a little bit too small!

Beautiful home, just wish I could see more of the inside. Perhaps specialty tours.

Nice quick tourist stop. Snap a picture in front of this great victorian style building. Public not allowed inside.

Very cool place for a quick stop to snap a pic and stretch the legs.

Famous family sold the Mansion to various Eureka Civic Leaders who formed a Private Club.(1950s) Sunday night - family night - after diinner, kids climbed the many stairs to the Widows Watch to pretend to play pool. The Stained glass windows are breathtaking - as are each room - and the exquisite woodwork - done by master carpenters with the finest wood.

Its awesome on the outside, but what about the inside?? They dont offer tours or even let you past the gate...let us in.

Beautiful home, a must see even if you cant go in.

Amazing place for Parfums. Nice to by in town than to order on line...I like my products straight away ;)

Beautiful house. Whatever private club uses it should let the public tour it.

The Carson Mansion is a large Victorian house located in Old Town, Eureka, California. Regarded as one of the highest executions of American Queen Anne Style architecture, 33 the house 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 also in the United States. Originally the home of William Carson, one of Northern Californias first major lumber barons, it has been a private club since 1950. The house and grounds are not open to the public.

Private Property. Youll be yelled at if you go here.

Beautifully ornate, but not open to the public :-(

Nice Christmas lights. Must stop if traveling thru Eureka.

Beautiful woodwork inside and out

Incredible example of old school architectural grace and beauty.

From the outside its apsolutly amazing could spend hours looking at all the amazing wood work they did hundreds of years ago blows my mind and would love to see the inside

The mansion is a beautiful landmark at the edge of the Eureka Old Town. However, it is not open to the public, so all you can do is go up to the gate and snap a picture. Its best enjoyed as part of a walk around the Old Town.

This house is so beautiful love it!

Absolutely beautiful architecture. Just stunning.

Beautiful spot. You can take pictures and read the plaque out front but not much else. There’s some kind of organization inside, a man came out and gave me a card very friendly but you cannot go in.

Love the cool architecture. Cant comment on the inside since its not open to the public.

Fairytales are made of such splendor as is the Carson Mansion! Bling Blinky of Texas Shout Out: A real source of California Dreamin’ here in Eureka!!

Beautiful mansion,, definitely a bucket list

This place has very KOOL architecture.

Wish it was still the prestigious club it once was. Still beautiful inside and out though

The Ingomar Club - aka Carson Mansion - is Eurekas finest home/private club/building.In 1950, a group of Eureka business men bought the Carson Home and made it into a private club.Lucky are we who have been invited to dinner, weddings, parties and events. One of a kind - spectacular interior and grounds. At one time, the thriving Ingomar was the place to go for Sunday dinner. Members flocked...memories made.

Cool place.

Didnt stop in, however architecture alone was worth the detour. Im sure the inside was worthy of a fifth star. Nice to see a bit of the old saved and celebrated.

A house straight out of Harry Potter or where the Addams family lives!

This place is absolutely stunning. The only downside is that you cant take a tour and there is not any literature telling you about the mansion. From the outside of it, along with the other buildings in the old town district are well maintained and the architecture is gorgeous.

A house in us but looks like Europe. Closed.

I had my class reunion here. As a kid I always looked longingly at it from the fence, and now I finally got to go inside! It is a Victorian style house. The inside is still decorated in the 19th century fashion. People say it is haunted. I didnt feel anything, but in one of the front rooms there are two pictures of children which are extremely creepy looking and gave me goosebumps! The staff was very competent and friendly.

It certainly a beautiful home. However you should know it is a private members only club, and not something you can go inside to check out. You can however rent it out for weddings and events. There is an online tour of the house at ingomar.org. The house is every bit as elaborate inside as it is outside. Well worth a look.

One of the most distinctive homes in the United States.

Very neat building.

An exception, historic building. Honored to have the opportunity to visit as a guest. Excellant drinks, dinner, & wine. Service was top-notch.

Amazing details!!! A must see in person.

Its a private mens club. Also a world famous tourist attraction.

Beautiful historic home and make sure you walk to the pier and check out the amazing murals along the wall facing the marina. Really cool.

My sisters wedding was beautiful! Great venue!

An architectural piece of history to enjoy

The Carson Mansion/Ingomar Club is a Private Club. It is not a History Museum. It was originally the private home of the famed Carson Family. In the 1950s, a group of Eureka businessmen gathered and developed the premises into a private Mens Club. On Sundays, members families dined in the large dining room. Bored children were known to skip dessert so they could climb to the highest reaches of the house - the Widows Outlook where a pool table existed, too. Tmes have changed. The very first female member was Eurekan, Patsy Smullin - California Oregon Broadcasting.. It is said to be the most photographed home in the United States

Big beautiful mansions in the Redwood Coast.

Beautiful stucture

This is one of the most beautiful Victorian mansions, possibly my favorite house in California. Must see for anyone visiting the beautiful and historic old town Eureka. One of the most poppin surf towns in the state. This is the pinicle of the local architectures!

This mansion is something to see if you know someone that can get you in.

Nice architecture but no real access only viewed from the street. Asking about viewing only is rewarded with condescending attitudes.

Magnificent, ornate Victorian Home. There is no ability to tour since this is now a private club, otherwise Im sure it would have been 5 stars.

Was surprised at its superior design, a perfect day for sight seeing there!

I just as beautiful as always...

Cool iconic Eureka sightseeing location. Too bad its a private club. Would like to see the interior.

What an incredible place. If you ever get a chance to go there I highly recommend it. The Ingomar club or the Carson Mansion is one of Eurekas most visited historic spots. It is a great example of Victorian craftsmanship. A must see, and if you are lucky enough to be invited in, you will not regret it. Guaranteed

Service impeccable

Just amazing. Worth stopping by.

Awesome sight, wish they had tours as I would like to see the inside of just an excellently built mansion!

Great to see from street. Private club!

This historical monument is a monument to the historicity of this particular construction which I find elegant over the top reflective of an economic and aesthetic age that is long past us by and that suggests opulence and some degree of extreme display.

Definitely worth a look, but a private club so you need to be a member to go inside

A true architectural gem! The house has survived and been cared for through the efforts of the Ingomar Club. There are no public tours, but sometimes members will give private tours. Also, the mansion is sometimes used as a venue for private events, and guests can see part of the home where the event is held.

Very impressive architecture. A private mens club built in part, I believe, by the destruction of old-growth forests. Wow.

Incredible place to see. Too bad is not open to the public.

Came here on a work lunch. Very let down. Terrible service, no menus right away, took drink order and left us with no menus for about 10-15 min. Wish that this place would be what you pay for for it. Ended up having a burger, wasnt bad. But for a spot in Eureka that is a charm, it should def leave you with a lasting impression.

It’s something you need to see if you are in or around the area. It was quite amazing to see it early in the morning for the first time after seeing pictures of it.

The historic value of the intricate features that is carpentry of the old. I like to travel by and around and on my walks through the city and with my friend and wife and admire the scapesAs we pass time and love together.

We had a great night

Beautiful & a lot of history in this building.

Very unique building worth the stop on the 101

I really enjoyed this place, I was a bit scared at first, but it was really beautiful, I was fortunate enough to get a tour of the entire insides. I would love to go back again.

Amazing food, elegant, and friendly staff. If you ever have a chance to come visit, and have the executive chefs Woodys food, please take everything in. This is one of the most amazing spots in Humboldt county.

Amazing house wish they had tours

Interesting place, worth a stop even though we were not allowed to go inside.

Beautiful mansion

A good old classic building.

Beautiful place

Beautiful exterior. Private club.
