Built in 1875 by pioneer merchant Arnold Berding, the A. Berding House is a Carpenter Gothic Victorian residence with Italianate accents located at 455 Ocean Avenue in Ferndale, California. The single-family home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is locally known as "The Gum Drop Tree House" for the distinctive row of cypress trees that have stood in front of the structure for approximately 150 years, their neat trimming contributing to the building's distinctive character.
