The Combellac-Blair House is the epitome of Victorian architecture’s sophistication in modern Placerville. Designed with a blend of architectural styles, it intertwines elements of royal influence, Italian grace, as well as touches of stick-island and Gothic art.

The exterior of the building itself impresses with its elegance and attention to detail. A facsimile of the original fence, recreated from old photographs, adds a touch of authenticity to the image. There are many domestic plants and trees on the territory of the house, most of which are original specimens.

The most prominent element of the house is the Gothic-style stick-island dome on the roof. It can be accessed via a hanging circular staircase that leads from the front living room.

The building retains the integrity of its appearance, materials, and interior design, which is rare among late nineteenth-century homes in modern-day Placerville. It embodies the spirit of a bygone era and leaves a lasting impression on all who are fortunate enough to see it with their own eyes.
