"In the glad morn of blooming youth
These various threads I drew,
And now behold this finished piece
Lies glorious to the view.

So when bright youth shall charm no more
And age shall chill my blood,
May I review my life and say
Behold my works were good."

The Bembridge House (1906) is a magnificent and highly ornate example of late Queen Anne Victorian architecture, and both the exterior and interior exemplify the finest accomplishments of turn-of-the-century architectural designers and craftsmen. The Bembridge House is the single most important example of this style of architecture remaining in the Long Beach today, and is considered by many to be the most significant residential historic landmark structure in the City. 

Long Beach Heritage purchased the house in August 2000. The Bembridge House has been recognized as a Long Beach Historical Landmark and is in the California Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.  To learn more about the history and architectural significance of the Bembridge House click on the following links:
