This prominent landmark on the Redlands landscape for many years was situated on a slight rise of ground from which one could see in all directions over the twenty acres of young orange trees surrounding it. The house was not at first used as a family home but was a boarding house for several years.

Adjacent to the mansion stands the Orange Tree Wedding Chapel. The stained glass windows and pews incorporated into this structure were once part of the first Evangelical Lutheran Church built in Redlands on Olive Avenue in 1904. The chapel holds one hundred and ten guests and 140 with some standing. The Greenhouse and heated Orangery patio, Tea Garden and Pavilions are used extensively for wedding receptions and banquets.

This development is offered as a tribute to J. S. Edwards and the pioneer citizens and citrus growers whose courage and vision have left with us today a rich heritage of culture and industry.
