Eureka
Street Inn was built in 1914 as a family home by Italian-American
Tobias Lagomarsino who operated a stage coach route between
Sutter Creek, Jackson and Volcano.
The Craftsman-style house became an inn in the early 1970s and
was operated originally, as the "Nine Eureka Street Inn." Many
of our guests choose our inn because of their love of the Craftsman,
or "Bungalow" style architecture.
Gustav
Stickley (1858-1942) romanticized and popularized the Arts
and Crafts style of architecture during the first two decades
of this century. Today the style is known generically as Craftsman.
The Craftsman- style architecture represents a conscious departure
from the "excesses" of Victorian times. Useless ornamentation,
"gingerbread" and the imitation of foreign styles was abandoned.
Large, comfortable porches, straight lines and the use of dark,
rich interior woods is typical of a Craftsman-style home.
The
inn's original rosewood and redwood wainscoting and beams, the
dramatic rosewood stairwell and the leaded and stained glass
windows are a handsome backdrop for the Eureka Inn's décor of
antiques and collectibles from the early nineteen hundreds -
the Craftsman / Bungalow Era.
