The Bernardo Fernandez House is a Victorian mansion located at 100 Tennent Ave in Pinole, California. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
House
[edit]The house is wood frame in French Second Empire style, an unusual architectural style in the area, with elements of Queen Anne and Northern Italian.[2][3] The main structure is decorated with stick trim panels; brackets above the tall two-over-two windows on the first floor support window hoods and eaves, and the central pavilion has a mansard roof[4] with arched dormer windows. A full-height slanted bay on the left side has a pedimented gable roof.[5]
History
[edit]Bernardo Fernandez, a pioneer resident of Contra Costa County, had the house built as his third residence in about 1894;[5] its predecessors were destroyed by a flood and a fire.[3] Dr. Joseph Mariotti bought the house in 1969; as of 2020[update] the family still lives there, raising chickens, geese, and ducks on the grounds, which also house a 1965 Ford Thunderbird, a 1950 Bentley, and Fernandez's 52-foot schooner Carlotta, named for his wife, which sank at the dock in the early 1900s and was raised in 1976 by the Ship Lifters of Pinole (SLOP).[3]
The house was listed in 1973 on the Contra Costa Inventory of Historic Places[6] and the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
