Heading back to Tahoe City from Vikingsholm for about fifteen miles, you will come across the 1903 Ehrman Mansion, which is similar to Vikingsholm in that it too is located on the water, has a turret, and is part of a a state park (Sugar Pine Point) open to visitors. Incredibly preserved inside and out, it was the first in the region to have power and indoor plumbing . They generated their own electricity until it became commercially avalable in 1927. The oppulent summer home required a seasonal staff 0f 27 to meet the needs of family and their many guests.
