(Green Gables Inn) 104 5th Street 1988 (Open from ~ to 5p.m.) A romantic Queen Anne style mansion by the sea. This half timbered, step-gabled residence, built in 1888, is an exquisite gem among Pacific Grove's many fine Victorian homes. The living room features large bay window alcoves facing the bay, a lovely collection of antique furnishings and a unique fireplace framed by stained- glass panels. Take your time as you view this inn. There is much more to see than space here permits describing. Notice the gothically peaked entrance door and the "chapel" room upstairs. Now in use as a bed and breakfast inn, the Green Gables Inn will capture your heart and imagination at first sight. CrJCZ:~'f2el~(/'LPi ~/Y/!Gr!GIR~?i c~~.~.C~P~ 401 Lighthouse Avenue 1903 A newspaper article published in 1906 describes the original owners of this 1-1/2 story house as "prominent citizens," J.P. and Catherine Brown. Unfortunately the article was reporting a "frightful accident" that occurred when the Brown's horse bolted and threw them in front of a moving street car on Central Avenue. Mr. Brown survived, but Catherine succumbed to her injuries. The McElyea family moved to Pacific Grove in 1990. When they found the house at 410 Lighthouse Avenue they knew immediately that is was the treasure for which they had been searching. The house was undeniably afixer-upper but the McElyea's knew that the home which awaited them at the end of the renovation was worth the effort. Local contractor, Richard Stillwell, and architect, Ed Bredthauer, worked diligently to keep the renovation in the style of the original house. The McElyea's spent two years "camping out" in portions of the house which were not being worked on at the time. This necessitated moving everything, including the kitchen, four times. During the renovation many "treasures" were found in the walls of the old house. Old newspapers, knickknacks, letters, dolls and other items yielded clues as to the rich heritage of the proud old house. While much of the renovation is complete much work remains to be done. The McElyea's hope to restore the original carriage house, which is located on the back of their property, as well as landscape the large (by Pacific Grove standards) lot. But that remains for a future tour. . . . In the meantime Bill, Ann and Peyton welcome you to their home and hope you enjoy seeing the progress they have made so far. , OCR Text: (Green Gables Inn) 104 5th Street 1988 (Open from ~ to 5p.m.) A romantic Queen Anne style mansion by the sea.
