Royal Elizabeth Bed & Breakfast (formerly the Blenman House) | Tucson, Arizona
The Blenman House was constructed in 1878 by Charles Rivers Drake.
It is thought to be the only example of San Francisco-style Victorian
architecture
built in Territorial-style adobe mud.
While Drake used 20 inch
thick
adobe bricks for the home's exterior, it is the interior's
wood
detailing
and leaded-glass skylights that distinguish it from any other homes in Tucson.
Drake lived in the home until the late 1890s when he sold the home to Charles
Blenman and relocated to Southern California .
