T
he delta’s historic Grand Island Mansion is a uniquely
spectacular Italian Renaissance style villa. The Mansion
is the largest private estate in northern California, and
embodies the finest features of classical architecture and
European craftsmanship.
The four-story, 24,000 square foot 58 room villa is centrally located
on Grand Island in the lush delta region east of the San Francisco
Bay.
The mansion was designed by J. W. Dolliver, the renowned San
Francisco architect, in 1917 for Louis Meyers, a native of San
Francisco, and his wife, Audrey, daughter of Lubin of the Weinstock
Lubin department stores.
Louis Meyers, an Orchardist, built the house as the centerpiece of
his orchard empire and as a place to entertain his society guests who
arrived by riverboat, such as author Erle Stanley Gardner.
The Grand Island Mansion has recently undergone extensive
restoration under the direction of Terrence Black, great-nephew of
the original architect, making the private estate the premier facility
for weddings, receptions, corporate retreats, business conferences
and private events.
Guests can entertain in the private English Hunt lounge and bar,
overlooking the spacious interior courtyard Colonnade room
with fountains, vaulted ceiling and Moorish arches. The historic
house was built by the finest craftsmen from Europe and has five
marble fireplaces, inlaid parquet flooring, rare handmade tile work
throughout, imported wood paneling, luxurious period furnishings
and authentic artwork. Other amenities include a tennis court,
basketball court, private docks and classical Italian gardens.
The Mansion and grounds are open for public viewing and dining
during the famous Sunday Champagne Brunch, served 10:30 to
2:00, with reservations or by appointment.
