Paul Gano, who hailed from Ohio, built Holly Hill House (red top Queen Anne style Victorian). It was built in 1890 supposedly for a bride awaiting his return. It is said while he was working on it, she married someone else.
It was originally called Lookout Cottage and it has an interesting history. The last time it was up for sale, it sold for $6,500,000. A 5 bedroom, 3 bath and 2495 sq ft., over 3 floors plus a Cupola and red cone shaped roof. What a great view too!
Easily, this is the most eye-catching home as you enter the harbor! I'm so happy to see you filling in all the historic information! I'll send my followers to your site!
@Weezilou It was nice to be staying with Diana who has lived on Catalina for the last 4 years. She took me in her golf cart named Betty White up streets I never would have seen. This was a vantage point on the hill between two homes. Diana showed me the sweet pet cemetery. She could drive us places that are closed to rental carts. Every time I go to Catalina Island, I fall in love with it more and more...
@gardenfolk What a marvelous time you clearly had! We also found the golf cart (and so many dining occasions!) to nicely offset the price of the stay...which was a buy 2, Get one night free special! And who's spending money on travel and haircuts now anyway?! As for the pet cemetary, surely there's a nice one that's being kept up. There's one on the way to Mt Ada, but it's in tragic shape. It's where we saw our first four deer and others who stopped to take selfies with them! I SO WISH now I'd bought a bag of apples!
