The Julia Morgan House is a Mediterranean Revival mansion, located in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Sacramento, California, constructed by Julia Morgan, the first woman licensed to practice architecture in California,.[2] The home, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was gifted to Sacramento State University by Charles Goethe after his death in 1966.[3]
History
In 1918, Julia Morgan was hired to draw plans for the house.[4] When Goethe died in 1966 he bequeathed the house along with his library, papers, and a large monetary donation to California State University, California.[5] Since then, University Enterprises, Inc. has maintained it.
Recent history
In 1982 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places due to its historic nature.[4][6] Part of said historic nature is the fact that it is the only example of Morgan's domestic architecture in the Sacramento area.[2] In 1999, the home was remodeled and its name was formally changed to the Julia Morgan House.[4] In 2014, the house was remodeled to include business meeting and conference facilities./> The house is currently used by the university to hold events by faculty or campus staff or can be rented for weddings, corporate meetings, and public events.
