The original Carter House was built in San Francisco and known as the Murphy House. It was designed by the famous Newsome Brothers of San Francisco in 1884-1885, the same architects who designed the Carson Mansion and The Pink Lady for William Carson. The 1906 San Francesco earthquake and fire destroyed the structure and it was never rebuilt. Now flash forward to 1978 when Mark Carter found the plans in a Eureka antique store and decided to build this house in Eureka as a home for his family. The house was completed in 1982 with the building taking longer to build than anticipated and coming in over budget. To help offset some of the costs incurred, the Carters decided to open the doors of their new home as an Inn and a restaurant.
The Carter House Inns & Restaurant 301 is comprised of four Victorian style buildings set alongside Humboldt Bay on 301 L Street. www.carterhouse.com. All four buildings are very pleasing to the eye and architecturally stunning!.
