Bembridge House

Bembridge House, also known as Green-Rankin-Bembridge House, is a Queen Anne Victorian house built by Stephen and Josephine Green in Long Beach in 1906. It is considered the most ornate Queen Anne Victorian residence in Long Beach. On the east side of the house is a two-story carriage house, built at the same time as the main house and echoing its architectural treatment. The house was purchased by Thomas Rankin in 1919 after Green’s death and was inherited by his children, Dorothy Bembridge and Neil Rankin. Musician and school teacher Dorothy Bembridge lived in the house from 1918 until she was murdered there in 1999. The house was acquired by Long Beach Heritage in 2000. It is a Long Beach Historic Landmark and on the California Register of Historic Resources and National Register of Historic Places.
