It was moved from the nearby Finnell Ranch in the 1860s and enlarged in 1907-08.","why_significant":"The house links two families important to Napa County development: the Grigsby pioneer family of 1845 and the Webber family, active in county government for two generations. John Lee Webber served as County Supervisor from 1904 to 1912 and promoted stone bridges. The property also reflects the 19th-century practice of moving buildings and shows a residence evolving from the mid-19th to the early 20th century.","narrative":"Located on a corner lot in Yountville, this two-storey frame farmhouse began as a one-and-a-half-storey Greek Revival dwelling built before 1859 on the Finnell Ranch, less than a mile east. It was moved to its present site in the 1860s. The Webber family enlarged it in 1907-08, adding a gabled second-storey room over the front porch and extending the kitchen wing north. A two-storey shiplap barn, built in 1905, opens onto Webber Street. The property is tied to the Grigsby family, who settled the Yountville area in 1845, and to John Lee Webber, who served as Napa County Supervisor from 1904 until his death in 1912. He championed replacing wooden bridges with stone, helping give Napa County the name County of Stone Bridges. His sons also held county posts. The house remained in the family until 1929 and now serves as a country inn.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Simplified Greek Revival","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Renovated in 1979 and in use as a country inn; the barn is used for storage, with conversion to lodging planned.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:32.315815-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/82002219.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002219/f82d0b2014-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002219/f82d0b2014-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Lee_Webber_House,_6610_Webber_St.,_Yountville,_CA_10-9-2011_3-52-03_PM.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Lee_Webber_House,_6610_Webber_St.,_Yountville,_CA_10-9-2011_3-52-03_PM.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860112","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lee_Webber_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85771607"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/napa-county/webber-john-lee-house-82002219/"}
