The historic 1888 Young House at 1006 Second Street in Eureka, California. The Young house, originally located on Sixth Street, was moved to its current site in 1978. A fire in 1896, destroyed the upper levels of the structure, which were not duplicated when the structure was rebuilt. The lower level is remarkable for its front elevation decorative treatment, particularly the large shelf brackets with sunburst motifs, the unusual traceried arched windows, and the fine entry porch with carved and spindle ornament.
The Eureka Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1991 and includes 23 blocks of “Old Town” Eureka. The district contains a total of 161 contributing structures including a distinctive Victorian commercial area, waterfront warehouses, and residential buildings.
