In the past four years Mikle Norton & Chris Myint have been meticulously restoring their, Pleasantview Manor, believed to have been built in c.1895, located in Historic Bluff Heights, Long Beach, CA. Long Beach is home for many Historic structures such as the famous ocean liner, R.M.S Queen Mary I (the sister ship of Titanic & Queen Elizabeth I). Pleasantview Manor was a home for many prominent local civic leaders, including the most celebrated Long Beach Architect, Harvey H. Lochridge, who lived here for 26 years. He designed numerous important structures & National Historic Landmarks in town while he was living here. Includes the 2nd Long Beach City Hall, c.1919, Insurance Exchange Building aka. Middough Brothers Boy's Shop (Department Store), c.1924, Jergin's Trust Building aka. Markwell Building, c.1919, plus many grand Public & Private residences. The home is built in c.1895 & has unique transitional Victorian & Craftsman(Arts & Crafts) features. The manor is located in just a few blocks away from the beach so usually gets fresh ocean breezes.  It was built as a summer seaside cottage for its wealthy land owner, Charles E. Espey, who owned a large piece of land in "Bluff Heights" neighborhood. This seasonal home was only used for social seasons, which only last for six to seven weeks of the year. Most of the time it was empty. But in a good old summer day, in this seaside cottage, when the music played & the sea breezes bloomed the world was magic.

Also proud to say that our Pleasantview Manor was designated as a "City of Long Beach Historic Landmark" in 2007 & was honored with a "2006 Restoration Award" from the Long Beach Heritage Society.
