This house literally got up and moved 👀 Built in the 1890s on Division Street — right where the Napa Library is today — this mansion was almost demolished.

Instead, locals saved it and physically relocated the whole thing to another downtown location in the early 1970s. 🏠🚚

It’s still standing, turret and all.

Then & now 📍 Historic Napa Mill 🏭➡️🥂
This old photo (circa 1970-80) shows the old mill sitting derelict on the Napa River, brick crumbling, windows boarded, silos standing quiet. Fast forward to today: that same waterfront is home to Angèle Restaurant, the Riverwalk winding along the water, and those same historic silos and water tower still standing proud, now restored instead of forgotten. From derelict to dynamic, right here on the Napa River. 🍷
Special acknowledgement to Harry Price for the foresight to restore this jewel and champion the Riverwalk.

For decades, Napa’s Franklin Station Post Office has been a familiar landmark on Second Street. After sustaining significant damage in the 2014 earthquake, this historic Art Deco building may soon begin a new chapter, with plans to preserve its iconic façade and interior decorative lobby while transforming it into a hotel. Preserving our past helps shape Napa’s future. What are your memories of the old post office?

Preservation isn’t just about protecting old buildings, it’s about preserving the stories, character, and sense of place that make Napa County unique.”

In this one-minute message, Leo Marmol shares how preservation authenticity isn’t defined by what remains unchanged, but by what continues to carry meaning forward.

Every landmark tells a story. Every preserved place strengthens our connection to Napa’s past while inspiring its future.

What’s one Napa landmark you’d never want to see disappear?

Before Napa became known around the world for w**e, locals were lining up for pastries at Butter Cream Bakery. Nearly a century later, it’s still one of the sweetest stops in town. 🍩☕️

Long before it became a celebrated Napa Valley w**ery, this property was a woodland retreat tucked into the Napa Redwoods where German families from San Francisco escaped the city to spend their summers. When the Jordan family purchased the property in 1883, they transformed it into “Lotus Farm,” named for the lotus flowers planted by young Rudolph Jordan, Jr., who oversaw the vineyards, farm, and family retreat.

The property entered a new era in 1900 when Oakland w**e merchant Theodore Gier acquired the 356-acre estate. Gier was a figure of international stature, later receiving the Gold Cross of the Kronen Order from Emperor Wilhelm of Germany for supplying w**e to the German military and Red Cross. At Lotus Farm, he expanded vineyard operations, hosted visitors and community gatherings, and began construction of a substantial stone w**e cellar in 1903. From a rustic resort in the redwoods to an ambitious w**e estate, the property's early history reflects the entrepreneurial energy, immigrant heritage, and evolving w**e culture that helped shape Napa Valley at the dawn of the twentieth century. Now the property is the focal point of Hess Persson Estates, with a world-class art collection originally curated by Donald Hess himself.
