Listed on National and Orange County Registers of Historic Places
The Bradford House has been a part of Placentia since 1902, when the prosperous rancher Albert Sumner Bradford built it.

The modified Queen Anne Victorian-style home cost $8,000. With two stories, 15 rooms and a full basement, it is an excellent example of an elegant turn-of-the-century home. The house is furnished in typical 1900-1920 style.

A ruby glass window, coved ceilings, handcrafted hemlock staircase, pocket doors and a double fireplace separating the back parlor and the dining room enhance the first floor. The large kitchen boasts built-in, ceiling-high cupboards and a massive worktable with sugar and flour bins.

Four of the seven upstairs bedrooms are open for viewing.

In 1973, Mr. Bradford’s descendants gave the house and surrounding 1½ acres to the City of Placentia for the community’s use and enjoyment.
