THE MCHENRY MANSION, BUILT IN 1883 BY ROBERT MCHENRY,

PROMINENT LOCAL RANCHER/BANKER IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE

VICTORIAN ITALIANATE STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE.  IN 1923, IT WAS

CONVERTED INTO APARTMENTS AND REMAINED AS SUCH UNTIL 1976

WHEN THE JULIO R. GALLO FOUNDATION PURCHASED IT AND DONATED

IT TO THE CITY OF MODESTO FOR RESTORATION AND FOR COMMUNITY

USE.  THE MANSION IS DECORATED AND FURNISHED WITH ANTIQUES

APPROPRIATE TO THE PERIOD WHEN ROBERT AND HIS WIFE, MATILDA,

INHABITED THE MANSION (1883-1896).  TWO ROOMS ON THE SECOND

FLOOR, A BEDROOM AND ADJOINING SITTING ROOM, REFLECT THE

PERIOD WHEN THEIR SON RESIDED IN THE MANSION (1896-1906).  TODAY,

THE MANSION IS OPEN FOR TOURS AND IS THE SITE OF MANY WEDDINGS,

RECEPTIONS AND SPECIAL EVENTS.
