The Crown Jewel, the biggest house in the tiniest historical town of Floriston. The family that grew up here is ready to *pass it on* after 60 years of ownership. Their father purchased it in 1966 becoming its fourth owner. But what happened before 1966 is the history! Floriston was originally settled as a railroad construction camp in 1867. In 1899, Floriston Pulp and Paper Company constructed a mill that had seven buildings, company housing for 150 workers & a superintendent's house (the big yellow house!). The mill prospered & grew, as did the town, with a large hotel, schoolhouse, hospital, general store, post office, railroad depot & employed 500 men. However, change happens...the mill was closed in 1930. In 1947, a San Francisco attorney purchased the whole town! Today it is a community of approximately 80 hardy private property owners that come from all walks of life. And the Big Yellow House.... still stands tall & proud! What will its continued history be? A new owner will determine that. Please come and visit the *Big Yellow House* of Floriston and see if it captures your heart and you can envision its future for another century.
