Landmark #878 | Napa County | Visited: July 12, 2014 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
What is it? | A late Victorian Gothic church by Daley and Eisen! |
What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: Designed by pioneer architects R. H. Daley and Theodore Eisen, this church is an outstanding example of late Victorian Gothic architectural styling. It is the best surviving example in this region of the early works associated with Eisen, who later became an important Southern California architect. The church has been in continuous use since its construction in 1874, longest pastorates were those of Richard Wylie and Erwin Bollinger.
OTHER TIDBITS: You may recognize Theodore Eisen’s later works such as the First Presbyterian Church on Gower Street in Los Angeles and, partly, the Lummis Home! This landmark is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places! |
