Ingomar Theatre

In 1884, eight years before designing the Carson Block with its upper floor Ingomar Theatre, architects Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom designed Eureka’s most iconic building, the ornate and towering Carson mansion, for the same client. Since 1950, the mansion has been the home of the Ingomar Club, a private men’s club named for the theater which, in turn, was named for William Carson’s favorite play, “Ingomar, the Barbarian.”
