It is one of only two buildings in Sacramento documented as hers. It is also tied to Charles M. Goethe, a Sacramento businessman, civic figure and philanthropist.","narrative":"Built in 1924 at 3731 T Street in Sacramento's Elmhurst subdivision, this six-thousand-square-foot house is a Mediterranean Revival residence designed by Julia Morgan. It has stucco walls, a low-pitched red-tile hipped roof, an ell-shaped plan, wrought iron balconies and grilles, cast-cement panels, and a carved teakwood front door. Teak also appears in the stairway, doors and interior trim. Several porches and rooms open toward the gardens, and the entry hall gives direct access to the principal rooms. It was built for Charles M. Goethe, a real estate investor and civic leader, and his wife Mary Glide Goethe, whose family had ties to Morgan. Goethe helped plan the city's playgrounds and parks, and he supported the founding of Sacramento State College. After his death in 1966, the house passed to California State University, Sacramento. It is valued as a well-preserved Morgan residence and one of two documented Morgan works in Sacramento.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Julia Morgan","architectural_style":"Mediterranean Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and in good condition; altered in 1975 (second story modified for office space) and 1979 (interior stairway added from garage to second story), which the form says do not detract from its architectural significance.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.715328-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/82002230.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002230/bcee57937f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002230/bcee57937f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Irneh","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Julia_morgan_house.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Irneh</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:Julia_morgan_house.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860594","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Morgan_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14682541"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/sacramento-county/goethe-house-82002230/"}
