Combellack-Blair House (Placerville, California)

 Victorian (architecture), NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, 1895_construction, historic house

The Combellack-Blair home constructed in 1895 for William Hill Combellack, served as home for the Combellack family for twenty-nine years. Late in the 19th century, affluence was exemplified by California's ornate Victorian homes such as this one.

The historical character of the home and the restoration of period design elements, such as the redwood picket fence, contributes to the overall significance of the home and the historic theme of the old streetscape. Bordering the home on the east is the old Methodist Church and Cemetary, dating from the early 1850s. Directly west on the opposite side of Cedar Ravine, is the authentically restored Thompson House, constructed in the 1860s. Overall, the Combellack-Blair House is considered to be the most elaborate Victorian home in present-day Plaeerville.
