DUNSMUIR HELLMAN HISTORIC ESTATE REVIEWS
This review is for the Dunsmuir House at the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate. The mansion captures the charm of a bygone era. The tours during the Christmas holidays are special events. Each room is decorated with a different theme. It is the closest to a Downton Abbey experience in the SF Bay Area. The City of Oakland operates the mansion and needs to allocate more funds for its upkeep as some portions of the house need to be better maintained.
A great historic home & grounds in Oakland California. There is a beautiful home that still looks exactly like it did when it was first built in 1899. Inside & its exterior are extraordinary. There is also a reception, party hall that has a great patio overlooking the grounds. Excellent place for weddings, and parties. 5 rated.
Love this place! So glad I had the opportunity to work here manager's were amazing and the place is so well kept up.

PARDEE HOME REVIEWS
Parse Family Museum was like a time capsule with incredible detailing and collections inside. Our work group was able to secure a private garden afternoon tea with 3 courses of goodies and all the english breakfast tea you could ask for. The women there were lovely and patient with us and even gave us each a thank you gift to take home. Following the tea and treats we took the tour which lasted a little over an hour sharing the homes history across 3 floors of unique treasures and facts. There is plenty parking both free and paid on both ends of the street just not directly out front. The ease of access as you come across the overpass made it all the better to get too! Definitely a place I will return to with family.
The volunteers at Pardee Home put such care into providing a wonderfully indulgent experience. Delicious tea with beautiful touches such as fresh flowers and good variety of tastefully decorated dishes. They even surprised me with a lovingly prepared birthday cake! Loved the interesting tour of a historical home.
Great home museum but the true highlight was the afternoon tea and the lovely ladies who served us and gave us the right amount of sass!
