The McDonald Mansion, also known as Mableton, is an historic residence in Santa Rosa, California.[2]

It was built in 1877 in the Victorian Stick/Eastlake style as a summer home for the McDonald Family, whose primary residence was in San Francisco.[3] In 1959 Mabelton's exterior was used in the filming of Walt Disney's Pollyanna.[2]

The McDonald Mansion is currently owned by technology entrepreneur John Webley.[4]
