About The Coulter House

Take a virtual tour of The Coulter House: https://discover.matterport.com/space/WRULPL1Bwt8 The Coulter House, recently featured in Vanity Fair, is a renowned mansion with its Spanish Colonial Revival styling and well-preserved historic charm, with a versatility that makes it an ideal setting for a wide range of photography and film activities. Fashion shoots, vintage-inspired editorials, and themed portraits flourish against the backdrop of ornate details and rich textures. Additionally, the expansive garden provides a picturesque setting for outdoor shoots, while the opulent interiors lend themselves perfectly to elegant events or lifestyle photography. The various areas, including the entrance hall, grand staircase, ballroom, garden, and unique architectural features, offer diverse settings for different photography and film themes. The juxtaposition of historic and contemporary elements adds an interesting dynamic to the visual narrative. This celebrated mansion stands out with its well-maintained Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, designed by the renowned architect Carleton Monroe Winslow Sr. (Los Angeles Public Library, Santa Barbara Public Library and more). Notable features include the bold massing of stuccoed walls, decorative columns and pilasters, and window grilles with turned wood spindles. The house retains its originality, with only minor alterations, making it a unique and authentic representation of the Panama-California Exposition era. The historical significance of being associated with the Expo and its location in Bankers Hill, once an area of affluence, adds a layer of cultural and visual richness to any photography project. The panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, San Diego Bay, and the Coronado Peninsula from the third floor provide a stunning natural backdrop, enhancing the overall appeal of the space for photography enthusiasts.
