Bronson-Mulholland House


The former home of Judge Isaac Bronson, the green-shuttered 1854 Bronson-Mulholland House now serves as a historic museum; the on-site manager conducts 30-minute tours by appointment (call well in advance). Note the full-length glass doors opening onto the verandah: when the property was built, homes were taxed according to the number of windows, so many installed French-style doors instead.
