This two story Victorian NeoClassical structure has a history of its own that fits right in with the "turn of the century" events in this Mother Lode Gold Mining town located along the route to Yosemite National Park. Built in 1903, this home has lived many lives and looks forward to experiencieng many more in the years ahead. The historic name given is "The Thomas Reid House". Bearing a strong similarity with a nearby home lending credence to information that both were built by the same carpenters. Ed Cobden, Tom & Walter Coyle and Edwin & Charlie Harper. Turn-of-the-century features are seen in the architecture. The original owners of the home, Thomas and Anna Reid, were native Grovelanders whose parents had come to the area during the Gold Rush. This couple owned, at one time, two of the local hotels, the Washington and the Groveland Hotels. Over the years, this structure has housed not only families, but a real estate office, dental office and an antique & gift shop, to name just a few of its lives. While it can be converted back into an imposing "period" single family residence, other opportunities are also available to a new owner. The C-1 zoning, middle of town location on the main street and the extra large paved parking area at the side makes this an ideal spot for many commercial, retail or hospitality ventures. The Pine Mountain Garden Club has created a beautiful setting with picnic tables and seating across the creek at the little Jailhouse behind the home offering visitors and residents a quiet rest stop and meditation area. The childrens' lending library in this serene setting is a popular attraction, as well. Tesla charging stations share the town's main parking lot around the corner on Ponderosa Lane. The drive through and east of town takes you to the entrance of Yosemite National Park just 23 miles by way of the same road (Highway 120) that is the main street passing directly in front of this property.
