The McHenry Mansion

The McHenry Mansion, built in 1883 by Robert McHenry, a prominent local rancher and banker, is a fine example of Victorian Italianate architecture. In 1923 it was converted into apartments and remained so until 1976, when the Julio R. Gallo Foundation purchased it and donated it to the City of Modesto for restoration and community use. The mansion is decorated and furnished with antiques appropriate to the period when Robert McHenry and his wife, Matilda, lived there from 1883 to 1896, while two rooms on the second floor, a bedroom and adjoining sitting room, reflect the period when their son resided there from 1896 to 1906. Today it is open for tours and serves as the site of many weddings, receptions, and special events.
