Griffith Mansion

The Griffith Mansion, a stunning Victorian residence built in 1886 by Abram Griffith, is located on 14 acres in Yolo, California. Known for its High Victorian Italianate architecture, the mansion features prominent bay windows, classical columns, and intricate ornamentation. The site has a rich history, originally built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and has undergone extensive restoration to preserve its charm. Notably, during renovations in 1998, a 400 to 500-year-old Native American village was discovered, revealing artifacts that provide insight into the lives of the Patwin tribe. Today, the mansion remains a private family home, offering a glimpse into California's historical past and architectural beauty.
