Chateau Pacheteau, in Calistoga, California in Napa Valley, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
The "chateau" is a four-story residence built in 1906. The National Register nominator termed it an example of "stone church architecture", and asserted it resembles Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. It is north-facing, and is 35 by 80 feet (11 m × 24 m) in plan.[2] Its "most unusual feature is the defensive stepped false front façade including a crenellated parapet composed of crenels and merlons, which appear again above the stone portico below. The parapet obscures the wood shake covered gable roof behind it."[2]
It was commissioned by Jacques Pacheteau. In its construction W.A. Harrison of St. Helena was in charge of carpentry, and the masonry work was done by Bennasini & Maggetta.[2]
The listing included a second contributing building--a detached carriage house--and five non-contributing buildings. The carriage house, also built in 1906, is also built of stone, and is two-storied with a central cupola above. It was designed by architect William Corlett.[2]
