Who knew that Santa Barbara had gorgeous old Victorian homes?
These homes were built primarily after the Civil War when there were an influx of Easterners that moved to the west.
They wanted to bring their own style with them to the west coast so they'd feel more comfortable in a new area. Soon, there were more Victorian style homes than Spanish Colonial homes.
Many of these lovely homes have remained private residences, but some have become doctor offices, shops, and bed and breakfasts. The Simpson Inn is a 5 Star B&B.
It is such a pretty sight to come upon a beautiful Victorian home while driving through the neighborhoods of Santa Barbara.
