The house, a Victorian gothic revival style cottage, was built by 49'er Charles Fayette Lott for his bride Susan. The story says they ate their first meal in their new home on Christmas Day in 1856 , and a packing case served as their table. The family lived in the home until 1962.
The C.F. Lott Historic Home serves as a historic house museum and a cultural repository for decorative art objects typical of Oroville's pioneer families. The collection includes furniture, paintings, rugs, textiles, clothes, silver and glassware during the Lott family period 1949-1910. |
