About this property

The Weller House, located at 524 Stewart Street in Fort Bragg, California, is a historic Victorian house that is operating as a bed & breakfast. The oldest building in the city, it was built in 1886 for Horace Alanson Weller Sr., a prominent figure in the early history of Fort Bragg who was manager of the Union Lumber Company Store then co-founder of the town's first bank. Expanded a year later, it came to include three stories with 10 rooms totaling 10,000 square feet (930 m2), including a 900 square feet (84 m2) ballroom. It is centrally located in Fort Bragg's oldest residential neighborhood, which also came to be known by the name Weller, occupying four contiguous city lots with 200 feet (61 m) of frontage and a total area of 0.5 acres (0.20 ha). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The listing included two contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.
