Carson Mansion, Eureka, CA. (Tommy photo)
There is a magnificent Victorian mansion on the waterfront of Eureka which is all wooden gingerbread. Called the Carson Mansion, it is presently off limits to all but members of an exclusive club made up, according to a local worker we met today at the at the Humboldt Historical Society, "of doctors and lawyers".
Here as everywhere in the USA. doctors and lawyers are the richest folks in town.
Since the old manse is decorated for the holidays, we drove by this evening to get an eyeful and I snapped the above photo.
Though we are not doctors or lawyers we hope to be inside some day soon.
