Frank A. Forster House

The Frank A. Forster House in San Juan Capistrano, California is a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) stucco, Spanish tile roofed mansion built in 1910 for $10,000 by Frank Ambrosio Foster, grandson of rancher John (Don Juan) Forster.

[3] The property changed owners in 1975, and was purchased as a fixer-upper in 1983 by interior designer Martha Gresham, who traded two Porterville ranches for the house.

She spent $350,000 restoring the mansion,[4] and used it as a home and office until 1990 when she sold it to photographer Phillip Stewart Charis.

[5] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Orange County, California in 1986.
