McDonald Mansion

The McDonald Mansion, also known as Mableton, is an historic residence in Santa Rosa, California.

[2] It was built in 1876 in the Victorian Stick/Eastlake style as a summer home for the McDonald family, whose primary residence was in San Francisco.

[3] After the death of the senior McDonalds, the eldest son Mark Jr. and his wife Isabelle eventually became sole owners of Mableton, and made it their primary residence.

[2] However, film editors altered the look of the McDonald house by using matte painting to add several stories to make the building taller, as well as architectural features.

The overhaul included restoring the exterior, recreating Victorian theme rooms throughout the home, and adding new features to the backyard.
