From the NRHP: "The Lyford House is a two-story wood frame residence with flared mansard roof with patterned shingles and dormers, a three-story tower with concave rood centered on the front elevation, and decorative carved trim on the dormers and on the roof. The house with its Second Empire mansard roof is also vaguely Gothic in the pointed tower dormers and Italianate in the bracketed and pedimented second floor paired windows. The house was built in 1876 on Strawberry Point overlooking Richardson Bay. Threatened by demolition in 1957, the building was placed on a barge and floated across the bay to its present location in Tiburon. Following the % of a mile move, a single story addition was made to the rear of the house and windows on one side elevation were enlarged. Chimneys have been removed or altered and the raised box- like skylight on the roof has a new pedimented roof." (
