Part 4/10:
Following her marriage, Harriet moved to the West Coast, integrating into San Francisco's elite social circles. Franklin Carson's family owned substantial properties, including a sprawling rural estate in Cupertino, Santa Clara Valley, known as Beaulieu—a name meaning “Beautiful Place.” Originally established by Charles Baldwin—who built a successful winery with imported French vines—Beaulieu became the centerpiece of Harriet’s social prominence. It was an ostentatious estate featuring a large stone winery, underground cellars, and buildings inspired by French classical architecture.
