905 Third Street - Eureka Historic District - Eureka, California - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

The historic 1887 McFarland House at 905 Third Street in Eureka, California. One of six houses built between 1885 and 1904 as part of a development by S.W. McFarland. This large Victorian residence, dating from the mid-1880's, with a very simple main front bay would lead one to believe later modernization had occurred to the house. The recessed front porch, supported by two flared wooden columns, appears to be a 20th Century improvement. Original hood moldings over the windows and a decorative frieze have been removed from the front facade. A square-shaped, two-story addition was added to the east facade of the house sometime in the 1890's. Although some decorative ornamentation has been removed from the front facade, it is still visible on the east addition and an important contribution to this intact block of row houses.

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.
