Annie Palmer House
284 Main Street
Point Arena
Built c.1875

This small house represents the second wave of home-building in Point Arena, in which functionality was supplemented by a bit of decoration and some elements of the Greek Revival style.

The house is named for Annie Palmer, who owned it before ending her teaching career at the Methodist school on the Point Arena Rancheria by murdering her lover in spectacular fashion.
