"The McHenry Mansion, built in 1883 by Robert McHenry, prominent local rancher/banker, is a fine example of the Victorian Italianate Style of architecture. In 1923, it was converted into apartments and remained as such until 1976 when the Julio R. Gallo Foundation purchased it and donated it to the City of Modesto for restoration and for community use. The mansion is decorated and furnished with antiques appropriate to the period when Robert and his wife, Matilda, inhabited the mansion (1883 – 1896). Two rooms on the second floor, a bedroom and adjoining sitting room, reflect the period when their son resided in the mansion (1896 – 1906). Today, the mansion is open for tours and is the site of many weddings, receptions and special events."
