Admiral's Mansion

As the name suggests, the Admiral in charge of Mare Island and his family lived in the spacious, Neo-Classical style mansion. You may also notice as you walked along Walnut, other officer's mansions, which are similar but smaller than the Admiral's mansion. This structure, built in the early 1900s, stands at 10,500 square feet. It has a large back yard for the many events the Admiral and his family would have hosted. The original mansions built along Walnut Avenue were originally built in the 1880s, but an earthquake destroyed them. This structure is built on the original basement foundation.

It is not open at this time, due to the need for seismic upgrades.
