"The Hellman-Ehrman Mansion" Top 5 Page for this destination Nevada Off The Beaten Path Tip by Yaqui

This was an interesting find from just driving around the lake like we did. I enjoyed the tour very much. Built in 1903 by Isaias William Hellman as a meager summer home, president of Nevada National and Wells Fargo Banks. Following Hellman's death in 1920 the property was bequeathed to his daughter, Florence Ehrman who enterained regularly here during their summer stay. Acquired by the California State Parks Service in 1965, this 11,700 sq. foot mansion is also open during the summer for guided tours. June through late September, beginning on the hour from 11 AM to 4 PM. Cost is $5 for adults, $3 for children 6 to 12, and free for kids under 6.

Located at Sugar Pine Point SP State Park on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, ten miles south of Tahoe City on Highway 89.
