The house is notable for its original features, such as sand-colored tile-patterned wallpaper and a four-poster bed where nine of his ten grandchildren were born. The garden is sustained by a permanent spring and retains much of its original character. The house is still occupied by his descendants, notably his twin granddaughters Alice Lansell and Neva (Mrs. D. W. Jenkins).

Wotton Married Helen Hall ...This document is a personal letter from Lanse Grimmett to a Colonel, expressing gratitude for a recent visit to Fortuna and highlighting several key points: The writer and his wife thank the Colonel for the warm reception during their visit to Fortuna, noting their pleasure at finally seeing the building and the positive impression made by the staff. The letter provides the names and addresses of two individuals (Stewart Hall and Mrs. Jenkins) who can clarify or provide more information about family history, particularly relating to the Lansell family. Mrs. Jenkins is noted as a daughter of Tom Lansell and an executor for family estates, potentially holding more information about George Lansell's branch. A photostat of Wootton's marriage certificate is included to confirm the correct spelling of his name.
