History

The Combellack?Blair House, designed in the
Queen Anne Style
of the Late
Victorian architecture
era, was built by William Hill Combellack in 1895.
[2]
One of the residence's early owners operated Combellack's, a store on Main Street in Placerville.
[3]
The Arthur Blair family purchased it in 1924. It served as a
bed and breakfast
for several years, but is now a private residence.

The home was featured in a
Thomas Kinkade
painting,
Victorian Christmas

[5]
Kinkade, who grew up in Placerville, felt the house was the kind that "begged to be painted"; he placed it in an idealized turn of the 20th century Christmas scene.
