Antique Moving Lessons From Fresno’s Kearney Mansion
Theo. Kearney, the Fresno landowner who came to be known as the Raisin King of California, never got his château. He lived in the superintendent’s lodge of his Fruit Vale Estate while planning a far grander house nearby, which the site’s 1970 National Register nomination says was to be modeled on Chenonceau in France and called Chateau Fresno. When he died in 1906, only the lodge and the servants’ quarters of that planned complex had been completed. He left the estate to the University of California, and the nomination says the University, “not appreciating possible historical significance,” removed many of the furnishings. By 1962, when the Fresno City and County Historical Society took on the house as a museum, many original pieces were gone. Thanks to the generosity of many, the Society’s history says, a significant number were located during the 1960s.
