Ingomar Club
The Ingomar Club is a private club in Eureka, California that owns and is based in the Carson Mansion, one of the most notable examples of Victorian architecture in the United States. According to researcher Wally Graves, the club was founded "to own and maintain a club headquarters for the meetings and enjoyment of its members; to create, establish and maintain an association of gentlemen for the preservation and protection of historic 'Carson Mansion'; to promote interest among its members in athletics, yachting, golf, swimming and related activities; to promote good fellowship, and to associate together those interested in the field of fine arts, music and culture"〔Graves, Wally. ("Shoot-out at the Ingomar" ). North Coast Journal, October 1995.〕 More recently, the club defines its mission as one of maintaining the historic home while providing dining and social outlets for its members.〔(The Carson Mansion ). Ingomar Club. 2007.〕 While for many years, the club operated with minimal scrutiny, it has not escaped controversy, both due to a long-standing policy of male membership and sexual harassment claims by former employees.
==History==

In the late 1940s, two Eureka businessmen, J.H. Crothers and Carl Gustafson, came up with the idea for what is now the Ingomar Club. Modeling their vision after an established organization, the Humboldt Club, they and other prominent members of local society began meeting and looking for a physical location to house the club. In particular, they focused on a vacant house that had been built by lumber baron William Carson, who had been a member of the Humboldt Club. Since his heirs had moved to San Francisco,〔 the club founders were able to negotiate a price of $35,000〔 The Ingomar Club incorporated in May 1950, taking as its name that of the protagonist in Carson's favorite play. Once the purchase of the Carson house had been finalized, members hired staff to begin a conversion process to convert the kitchen area to commercial grade and to upgrade the house for heavy use by members. Additionally, club members determined to add a large, new section, spending considerable money in the process.
When the house was changed from use as a private residence to a private club, elements and remodeling occurred that led to minor changes in the internal layout of the house to allow for offices and dining areas to replace living areas. The house was spared massive redesign, however, because the club built a large addition to the north elevation (bay side) to be the site of the large bar, dining room, and meeting facility needed for member functions.
In 1988, the organization management began a restoration process that made significant progress in restoring aspects of the house back to the days of its original owner.〔Graves, Wally. ("Carson Mansion, the inside story" ). North Coast Journal, October 1995.〕 After the 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquakes, the house suffered damage as it did in 1932, requiring the club to add a surcharge to member dues to complete significant repair and restoration work.〔
