Goethe House, Sacramento
historic place
Here in Sacramento, California, stands the Goethe House, also known as the Julia Morgan House. This historic place is a Mediterranean Revival mansion located in Sacramento County. The house was designed by Julia Morgan, California's first licensed female architect, known for her significant contributions to architecture. Plans for the house were drawn in 1918, and construction was completed in 1924. It was commissioned by Lizzy Glide as a wedding gift for her daughter, Mary Glide Goethe, and her husband, Charles Goethe. The Goethe House holds historical importance as the only example of Julia Morgan's domestic architecture in the Sacramento area. Due to its historic nature, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 19, 1982. After Charles Goethe's death in 1966, the house was bequeathed to Sacramento State University. Today, it remains a significant architectural landmark in the city.
