This grand manor, established in 1883 by F.Q. Story, offers a glimpse into the rich history of California's citrus industry. The Story House is a testament to his influence and legacy, occupying a sprawling 18,723 square-foot lot on a picturesque tree-lined street, providing ample space and tranquility.
