“Nimitz House”
The Nimitz House was built in 1900 on Goat Island, now Yerba Buena Island, as a residence for the Commandant of a Naval Training Station.
Officially known as Quarters One, the Classical Revival home got its nickname from Admiral Chester Nimitz, a World War II naval hero who spent his last days there.
In 1998, the house became a bizarre flashpoint in the construction of the new Bay Bridge when the Navy refused to let Caltrans engineers onto Yerba Buena Island. Why? Their design called for a span that would cast a shadow on the Nimitz House.
Construction didn’t restart for a year and a half as the plans were redrawn to ensure the historic home would remain in the sun.

I fucking love presentations. If I had anyone to give presentations to, I’d give one about Gothic-revival architecture because dhsjsjhw it’s so pretty.
And I saw somewhere that Wayne manor was built in the mid-1800s and I just jumped for joy lmao.
I’m a huge fucking nerd, but so are y’all because you really want to see me make a bunch of floor plans so—

Check it out. As soon as I see the grand entrance I get a bad vibe. The woodwork is amazing, but it's all painted gray. I think that adds to the cold haunted look.
Tumblr media
The rooms look dark. Every lamp is on.
Tumblr media
Maybe there's too much stuff around. Note the cat on the table.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How could they have painted over this magnificent woodwork? If anything, maybe I would've highlighted the trim.

Connecting hallway.

Crowded library.

Home office off the library. Good luck moving all this stuff out.

Looks like a family room.

The vintage kitchen is cute.

There's a sink and a kind of pantry by the service stairs.

Nope, ain't gettin' in the creepy elevator.

The 2nd fl. landing is large enough to be a sitting area.

Primary bedroom and en-suite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The bedrooms are very large and all have en-suites, which is unusual for an older home.
Tumblr media
Walk-in closet in the hall.

Linen closet could be another walk-in clothes closet.
Tumblr media
Closet under the attic stairs. The attic isn't finished.

The grounds are truly stunning. Look at this lily pond.

A second pond.

Beautiful patio and gardens along a brick path.
