Why not both?
The oldest frame home in Long Beach, 326 W. 10th St. in the Drake Park/Willmore Historic District, went on the market last week for $1.075 million — at least it’s his home for now.
It’s too flippant to call it a “mobile” home, but the four-bedroom, three-bath home has more mileage than a typical home, having been picked up and moved four times in the last 126 years.
You can be fairly certain that the current location will be the final stop, but with its nomadic past, don’t bet the house on it.
It was built in 1887—a year before Long Beach became a city—by one of Long Beach’s founding families, Jotham Bixby and his wife Margaret, to serve as the vicarage for the early version of the Congregational Church at Cedar Avenue at Third Street .

Even then, the two-story Victorian Queen Anne House was considered a masterpiece. The church’s pastor, Rev. Henry Kendall Booth, called them “an ornament to the town, an element of strength to the church, and an honor to Mr. and Mrs. Bixby.”
A dozen years after construction, the house began its journey. It made the short trip from Cedar to Third in 1899, and when the present First Congregational Church was built in 1914, the Parsonage House went back to the street and moved off-site, and in 1927 moved to a property at Seventh Street and Pacific Avenue around where it was converted into a duplex and settled for a stay of 85 years and time passed.
In the 2010s, the homeowner needed to move the home to make room for the 271-unit Volta housing development, and he asked realtor Greg Ernst to find an available vacant lot somewhere in the Drake Park/Willmore area to accommodate the moving the house than tearing it down.

A vacant lot was found at 326 W. 10th and the home made its final journey down three blocks north and going through the process of modernization.
From the outside it looks almost the same as it did when it was built. The owners even spent $3,000 on a forensic examination of the original paint to make the home historically accurate. It has also retained most of its original windows and porch.
Inside it’s a different story.
“More than 90% of the interior is new,” said Ernst. And that includes brand new plumbing, new electrical, new air conditioning, new walls and ceilings, new lighting fixtures, new kitchens and bathrooms, new flooring and tile work. It’s practically a new house with little memory of the past, wrapped in a historic Victorian home with stories spanning decades.
Inside, some vintage touches remain, including the staircase and a built-in wooden stall in the living room.

The 2,017-square-foot home features a large, airy living room with a lovely nook perfect for a reading chair and lamp, a bright kitchen, and a good-sized bedroom. The master suite has an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and clawfoot tub next to a window overlooking a huge backyard that could easily accommodate a swimming pool and perhaps a garage, as many of the homes in the neighborhood were built before the Model Ts were started rolling off the assembly line. Ernst said the entire process, from moving to renovating, cost nearly $2 million.
Because its exterior is still original, the house, still known as the Parsonage House, remains a Long Beach Historic Landmark.
