Originally the home of lumber baron, William Carson, the Carson Mansion is a large Victorian house that is regarded as one of the best examples of American Queen Anne style architecture. Designed by Samuel and Joseph Newsom and built in 1884, the house is one of the most documented Victorian houses in California, with images of the mansion being used on posters, paintings, and book covers across the world, including the clock tower of the train station at Disneyland. Standing in virtually the same condition as when first constructed, the Carson Mansion has been a private club since 1950 and is not open to the public.
