Yes! I was born and raised in Humboldt county And my dream for many years was to see the inside of the Carson mansion. For many years women were not allowed to join the Ingomar club that owns it. If I remember correctly, the city originally owned it for about a year then auctioned it off because of the cost of the upkeep. Anyway, I could never figure out a way to get in even though I did apply for a waitress position there specifically for that purpose. In 2015 One of my employers was a longtime member, And on my last day of work, as we were all gathered for lunch, he asked if I had time for a private tour of the Carson mansion! You bet I did and it was fabulous! My favorite was the pool room, the maids quarters, and the widows peak. I did not take a lot of interior pictures, because I was so impressed just being inside I wanted to take everything in. The history of this house, and the neighboring Pink Lady, are quite interesting. Imagine seeing it on Reddit! Thank you so much for posting. All that old growth redwood is incredible.
