Harry and Madeline Johnston's Historic Home
Contributed by Janet J. Johnston
The Johnston House (1899) is at 1137 Warren Street in Napa CA.
With its turret and gabled roofs, this Queen Anne, designed by Luther Turton, was a wedding gift for Harry Johnston and
his bride Madeline Migliavacca (two prominent Napa families).
The couple lived their married lives out on First Street where the house originally stood. Having had no children, they left
the home to the city.
It was used for city office space and, briefly in 1974, as the police department. In 1977, to make way for a parking lot, the home
was moved to Warren Street, where today it stands restored. Today it is used as a bed and breakfast called "The Napa Inn."
Migliavacca Mansion

One of Luther Turton’s grand creations, this Queen Anne style with Oriental influences Victorian mansion a few blocks from Fuller
Park is one of Napa’s largest and most flamboyant.
Its first owner, Giacomo Migliavacca, an Italian immigrant and local banker, settled in the area in 1866. Migliavacca helped develop
the Bank of Italy (which later became Bank of America).
To save the mansion from demolition, it was moved from Coombs Street to its current location, where it was restored and transformed
into an office building.
