It was a little bit unusual when Crawford Holland, a representative of the Ione Coal Company, ordered the build of this Italianate in Sacramento, California in 1891. That style of house had waned in popularity during the previous decade, so it stood out from most of its neighbors and still does today.

However, we are totally digging Holland’s taste and the fact that he didn’t follow the herd. We are big fans of being true to yourself.
