It was built as a showpiece to promote the company's subdivision and lumber sales. It keeps its integrity of design, materials, workmanship and setting despite minor alterations.","narrative":"Built in 1904 by the Northwestern Redwood Company, this one-and-a-half story house on a corner lot at State and Humboldt streets in Willits, Mendocino County, is a fully developed Queen Anne residence. It has a steeply pitched gable-on-hip roof, cutaway bays beneath gables, a witch's hat corner tower, a wrap-around veranda with curved windows, and spindlework trim. The company erected it as a showpiece to promote its Northwestern Addition subdivision and sales of building materials from its Willits lumberyard. The nomination calls it the single best example of high-style Queen Anne architecture in the town, free of features borrowed from other styles. Alterations include a concrete foundation, new roofing, an enclosed rear porch, and removal of interior walls to create one large room, now a jewelry shop. Later renovations finished the second floor. The house retains its integrity of design, materials, workmanship and setting, and is in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"1904","architect_builder":"Built by the Northwestern Redwood Company; architect unknown","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition; the front room serves as a jewelry store display room and the upstairs is living quarters.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.926546-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/95001153.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859803","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larsen_Family_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q65059163"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/mendocino-county/larsen-family-house-95001153/"}
