Stone mason Angelo Brovelli built it for Italian immigrant Charles Rovegno.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an excellent example of local Napa Valley stone used by an Italian immigrant, and one of only three stone buildings in Yountville. Its masonry craftsmanship, vernacular design and nearly original appearance support its significance under architecture. It fits the county's broader context of stone buildings from 1874 to 1912.","narrative":"Built of locally quarried Napa stone, this two-story rectangular house at 6711 Washington Street in Yountville dates to 1904, with a rear addition of identical stone added around 1908. Charles Rovegno, an Italian immigrant who came to Napa County in 1892 and bought the property in 1902, was a successful vineyardist who lived there until his death in 1954. Local mason Angelo Brovelli, who built many of the county's stone bridges, constructed it using irregular courses of rough cut and uncut stone with flush cement mortar. The house is one of only three stone buildings in Yountville from the period when stone construction flourished in Napa County. It keeps its original stone walls, log floor joists and beaded wood ceilings, with only minor changes such as shutters and flower boxes added in the 1970s. Later used as an inn called Burgundy House, it is valued for its craftsmanship, simple design and high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"1904-1908","architect_builder":"Brovelli, Angelo","architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently used as a hotel (Burgundy House) with a specialty store; the form lists these as current functions.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:28.051498-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/91001384.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91001384/e3501a0269-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91001384/e3501a0269-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Rovegno_House,_6711_Washington_St.,_Yountville,_CA_10-9-2011_2-36-41_PM_(cropped).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:Charles_Rovegno_House,_6711_Washington_St.,_Yountville,_CA_10-9-2011_2-36-41_PM_(cropped).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860084","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133321335"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/napa-county/rovegno-charles-house-91001384/"}
