Property Description

The home exudes architectural charm with its historic detail and finishes, soaring ceilings, natural light, and stunning mountain views of the iconic Cerro San Luis. The Trousdale Home is an example of transitional building patterns between the end of the Victorian era and beginning of the Classical Revival period.

Early occupants were railroad employees H.S. Trousdale (1904), John Mathlers (1912), SLO pioneer businessman and banker J.P. Andrews (1914).
