Kimberly Crest House & Gardens

The Kimberly Crest House was built in 1897 and is a well-preserved example of Victorian Chateau architecture. In 1969, as part of an effort to save neighboring Prospect Park, Kimberly Crest was offered to the “people of Redlands” by the owner, Mary Kimberly Shirk. The house and gardens are now open to the public for tours as well as weddings and private events.
