The Commodore Potts home, a two-story Queen Anne with Eastlake ornamentation, is Vallejo’s shining example of Victorian architecture. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 4 fireplaces, it features: carved doors with beveled crystal, 5 stained glass windows, 6 original chandeliers, Lincrusta Walton wainscoting, inlaid hardwood floors, and 11-foot ceilings. There is a 2 car garage & a basement for workspace and storage. The home is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is more impressive in person. The design suggests the work of San Francisco architects, the Newsom brothers. The home was built in 1891 for John Wilson, a well-to-do rancher. It is named after Commodore Potts, who bought it in 1908, as his retirement home from Mare Island Navy Base Command. A cement truck driver saved this home from a wrecking ball in 1972. The current owners have done major repairs and upgrades, including remodeling the kitchen and upstairs bath. The home is located in the Vallejo Architectural Heritage District, near the Napa River and the historic downtown. It is walking distance to a dozen restaurants, two pubs, one bar, and three coffee shops. Get ready to be impressed. It is rare to find a Victorian home like this. An in-depth history of the home is available on request.
