The Stansbury House is a Victorian house that has been a part of Chico since 1883. It was the residence of a medical doctor by the name of Oscar Stansbury and his wife, Libbie. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and an individual property, and in 1991 was listed as supporting the South Campus Historic District. It is now the property of The City of Chico. However, the Stansbury Preservation Society helps to fund and maintain the 19th century historic house as a museum for all to see. Tours cost $2 for adults, $1 for students, and free for children under 10. Every year, the house hosts an Ice Cream Social.
In late 2007 to early 2008, the Stansbury House closed and underwent major improvements including the construction of a smaller dwelling (what is it for?).
