Hellman, designed by architect Walter Danforth Bliss. California acquired the property in 1965, and the mansion now serves as a museum and the backdrop for private events. Two outdoor event sites are available for weddings, reunions, corporate dinners, farm-to-table gatherings, music events, and festivals. The grounds in front of the mansion can host receptions, performances, and celebrations for up to 100 seated guests, while the lakefront site offers a setting overlooking Lake Tahoe for ceremonies and intimate performances of equal capacity.
