W. Carson Mansion

Uploaded: January 15, 2014

Description

William Carson is quoted as saying about his Mansion: “…if I build it poorly, they would say that I was a damned miser; if I build it expensively, they will say I'm a show off; guess I'll just build it to suit myself.”

The Carson Mansion is a fairy tale like structure, with gables, turrets, cupolas, complex windows, porches and pillars. The second story balcony has wrought iron framework with the Masonic Order insignia (of which Carson was a member) combined with his initials, W.C. #1559658

I would not want to be responsible for the upkeep. I can't imagine how long it would take to paint this mansion. #10947287
