“Matilliha Manor” has been added to the Lake County Quilt Trail. This quilt block has been installed on the lovely Victorian porch facing Gard Street at the home of Ken Harper and Sherry Bauman at the 5000 block of Second Street in Kelseyville, CA 95451.
Matilliha Manor is a Victorian home built in 1871. In the early 1900s the front bedroom served as a dentist office while the family resided in the rest of the home. In the late 1980’s Marilyn (founder of the LCQT) and Myron Holdenried purchased and renovated the home bringing it back to it’s former glory. The home was used an as event center/vacation home before being purchased by current owners Ken Harper and
Sherry Bauman. They have worked hard to honor the tradition of the home with period pieces giving one the feeling of stepping back in time.
This quilt block is in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Holdenried, bringing together two legacies they have brought to Lake County- Matilliha Manor and the Lake County Quilt Trail.
The LCQT is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride. The 4’x4’ quilt block was drawn and painted by the Lake County Quilt Trail team. The LCQT is a group of dedicated volunteer quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, and carpenters. *The LCQT is no longer taking applications.
