It is a privately owned single-family dwelling.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of Point Arena's most important houses and the only example of the Queen Anne style in a town of simple, functional dwellings. It shows the defining traits of the Queen Anne cottage: a projecting bay window beneath a front-facing gable and abundant ornament on every elevation. It is significant locally under Criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"This one-story house at 50 Mill Street in Point Arena, Mendocino County, was built around 1900 and is a Queen Anne cottage. It has a T-shaped plan with intersecting gable roofs. The front gable holds a sunburst, a small stained glass window and a decorative cornice, and a three-sided bay sits beneath it. Windows have decorative molding, and the porch has a shed roof with a false gable, a decorative frieze and turned posts. Siding is horizontal board. The house was judged significant because it is the only Queen Anne building in a town of mostly simple, functional homes. Queen Anne cottages were very popular in California in the 1890s, and published plans and pre-cut detailing meant many near-identical houses appeared statewide. This one clearly shows the type's two key traits: a dramatic bay window under the front gable and lavish ornament on all sides. It sits near the west end of the town's most completely residential street, beside another late Victorian house. It remains a private residence.","period_of_significance":"1900 (estimated)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current use is residential, single dwelling. The porch steps and balustrade are not original but detract little from the building's integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.551436-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/90001356.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001356/4598e0d2eb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001356/4598e0d2eb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Frank Schulenburg","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sid_Groshon_House,_Point_Arena.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Frank Schulenburg</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:Sid_Groshon_House,_Point_Arena.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123857651","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133305780"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/mendocino-county/groshon-sid-house-90001356/"}
