"The Comstock House is a private family home in Santa Rosa, California. It is currently undergoing a restoration intended to return the exterior to its original 1905 appearance. The house is named for the Comstock family, who lived here for 74 years.


Comstock House would be noteworthy if only for its link to the illustrious family, but it is a remarkable example of early 20th Century architecture that remains in mostly original condition. The main rooms of the house were never remodeled, and still appear almost exactly as they did in 1905. Also rare is that the original blueprints and the architect's directions to the contractor have been preserved (both documents available for download from this web site). In 2012, Comstock House was listed on National Register of Historic Places (NRIS 11001053)." (visit link)
