About Pardee Home Museum
The Pardee Home in Oakland is a well-preserved Italianate-style house built in 1868 and designated both a city and a state landmark. The house served as the residence of three generations of the influential Pardee family, including Governor George Pardee. Today the museum displays the original interior furnishings, which reflect the home's condition in 1981. You can marvel at Helen Pardee's diverse collection, which comes from all over the world and ranges from Alaskan carvings to a large elk head. The grounds also include the historic carriage house and lie within the Preservation Park Historic District. After being saved from demolition to make way for a freeway, the estate opened its doors as a public museum in 1991.

The home of the Pardee family, beginning with a California State Senator in 1868, and made into a museum in 1981. The main attraction is the accumulation of knick-knacks that the family gathered from traveling the world, as well as the history of the family, and the vintage of the house and grounds.
