Johnson House

c. 1851

This Greek Revival style home was built of precut lumber from Maine and shipped around Cape Horn. Four fireplaces and a picture window were added later. Samuel Johnson built the house in 1851. He was a business and civic leader in Santa Clara. The house was subsequently purchased in 1873 by Mary Schumacher, widow of a Civil War colonel.

This house is a private residence and should be respected as such.
