AINSLEY
HOUSE
Beautifully
restored in an enchanting park-like setting, the English Tudor
style architecture of the Ainsley House transports the visitor
to the bygone era of the 1920s. Built in 1925 as the home for
Campbell canning pioneer J.C. Ainsley and his wife Alcinda, the
home was moved to its present location in 1990. The exquisitely
restored and decorated 15 rooms are furnished with much of the
original furniture of the era when it was one of the grand homes
of the Santa Clara Valley. Open
Thursday - Sunday from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. |
