Registered Historical Landmark No. 615

Plaque placed by California State Park Commission in cooperation with the citizens of Fort Bragg and the Union Lumber Company. September 2, 1957.

The photograph shows the 1892 redwood Victorian built on the site of Fort Bragg as a home for Charles Russell Johnson who founded the Union Lumber Company and served as Fort Bragg's first mayor.

In 1912, the building became a guest house for Union Lumber, and it is now the Guest House Museum which documents the 150 year history of the lumber and fishing industries on the Mendocino Coast.
