The Rhine House


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick   		The Rhine House
The Rhine House
Jacob Beringer, along with his brother, Frederick Beringer, immigrated to America in 1868 and soon after arrived in the Napa Valley of California. They purchased land for the first Beringer Vineyard in 1875. The Rhine House, a classic example of ornate Victorian architecture, was completed in 1884 by Architect Albert Schroepfer for Frederick Beringer at a cost of $28,000. Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley. It is also one of the very few wineries that survived the draconian prohibition of 1922, which lasted over a decade. The estate is also in the National Register for Historic Places as a historic district, a status it has held since 2001

Great info and such a beautiful house! Great treatment too. And wow... $28,000 back then?? I wonder what that would compare to in today's money? A lot I am sure!
