Kimberly Crest

Navel oranges paid for this. Redlands grew rich enough on citrus in the 1890s that a French chateau went up on the hillside in 1897, with a carriage house built to match and, from 1908, terraced Italian gardens running most of a thousand yards down to the gate. It takes its name from the Kimberly-Clark family who later owned it. The groves that funded the house are subdivisions now, and the house came through as a museum, which is the reverse of the usual order.
