Carson Mansion
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,
constructed in 1884-1885
, is a three story, eighteen room structure with a tower and basement. The house was
designed by the Newsom Brothers of San Francisco
, well-known architects throughout California. Perfectly situated to the south of his lumber mill, the Carson Mansion has become a local landmark. There are many interesting architectural points of view regarding the Mansion. It is adorned with
Stick-Eastlake characteristics,
and there has been much written about its Queen Anne qualities. There is reference to
Gothic, Italian and French influence
. The wide porches with large ornamental pillars make for a grand entrance. A
complex combination of gables, turrets, cupolas, and pillars constitutes the exterior of the Mansion
. The Carson Mansion is one of the most photographed structures in the world

The
Hobbit House is part of a Shire themed subdivision in Bend which likely represents the absolute summit of the housing boom. The development was platted around 2005 with 31 lots on 6 acres. It was actually called “The Shire” and all of the homes were supposed look like Lord of the Rings meets
McMansion
. The original developer only completed two houses before losing the property to foreclosure in 2008. In fact, some poor soul (or perhaps Hobbit?) paid $650,000 for one of the two completed homes in late 2007. This sale very likely represents the absolute peak of the housing boom nationally. The home sold again for $227,000 in 2012…Slide15Slide16Slide17Slide18Slide19Slide20Slide21Slide22
