MacCallum House

MacCallum House by Oldvidhead.
The MacCallum house (1882) was given to Daisy Kelly MacCallum by her parents William and Eliza Kelly shortly after her marriage to Alexander MacCallum in 1879. Daisy, Alex, and their son Donald lived there until 1885, when the Family moved east of Fort Bragg and later to San Francisco. After Alex died in 1908, Daisy moved back to Mendocino when she had the house moved forward and west to it’s present location.

Daisy MacCallum lived in the house until her death in 1953 at 94. Donald continued to live in the house until his death in 1960. The house became a Bed and Breakfast in 1974. The current owners, Jed and Megan Ayers and Noah Sheppard have done much to upgrade the property to it's current magnificent state.

I’ll be showing several recent Mendocino postings in the registration area of the MacCallum House this summer. To preview the work on display see my MacCallum House Show set. If you’re in the area, you can view my work in the registration area on the second floor. While you’re there, stay for lunch (or dinner). You won’t be disappointed. Also stop by and the Gallery of the Senses on Main Street to see the beautiful work of my good friend Rita Crane

A fairytale house!?

Had you considered a perspective crop to square it up? Not a criticism, just an inquiry about which version might look better.

Wow, your photo is a beauty Eric, of one of the icons of Mendocino!
Thanks for mentioning me....and very much looking forward to your show!

Here is another angle on the MacCallum House property...a snapshot taken at 6:30 AM at sunrise from the north....where you can see the historic watertower which is still in use today. Next to it is the former Baptist church that was built for Daisy's mother, and where she played the organ on Sundays.

The blue sign is an excellent tie to the blues of the sky above. Well centred to have the vanishing point behind the house and then to have the lines of clouds projecting up and over it, like the spines of an umbrella behind the head. The colours are light and lively here. That's a heck of a garden out front too.
