Frisbie-Walsh House, 235 East L Street, Benicia, Solano County, CA

description

Summary

Significance: This Gothic Revival style cottage is the earliest and probably the most important house in Benicia. Built shortly before 1850 by John Frisbie, General Vallejo's son-in-law, it was soon to Captain Walsh, who lived there until the 1880s. Apparently, this structure was a prefabricated house, in which the timbers were cut and numbered, brought to Benicia and assembled. It is very close in appearance to Lachryma Montis, General Vallejo's own house near Sonoma, and to the Burritt House, once located in San Francisco but since demolished.

Survey number: HABS CA-2087

Building/structure dates: ca. 1850 Initial Construction
