Riordan Mansion State Park

It's not often two families share one residence. Two brothers, prominent Flagstaff pioneers Timothy and Michael Riordan married sisters, Caroline and Elizabeth Metz. In 1904 the two families built a large mansion created of two homes each separated by a common billiard room.

Know as the Riordan Mansion, it was designed by Charles Whittlesey the same person that designed the El Tovar Lodge at the Grand Canyon. Over a hundred years later, the mansion still exists today for all to enjoy as a treasure from the pioneer days of Flagstaff.

The expansive home of rustic exterior, log-siding and stone arches has over 40 rooms expansed over 13,000 square feet of mansion living area and is still decorated with its original furnishings.

Know today as the Riordan Mansion State Park, one-side of the mansion is reserved exclusively for guided tours while a visitor's center permits a self-guided tour. Visitors can arrange for meetings and private events. The picnic area combined with the Mansion backdrop is an ideal setting for weddings.
