(NEWS CENTER) -- This weekend marks the start of the holiday season at Portland's historic Victoria Mansion.

For the last 30 years, the mansion has been decorated by local designers, and offers tours inside the National Historic Landmark in Portland's West End.

"We have local designers who set up every room, so it's a community effort," said Site Manager Brooke Palmer.

Every season, there's a new theme. This year, it's "One Hundred Years Past." Palmer said the decorators were asked to draw inspiration from the year 1914, which is considered to be the late-Edwarian era.

"It's just overwhelming," said visitor Eddie McGay, looking at the decorations in the parlor. "It's so beautiful, it's just lavish."

The mansion is open from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, and open Mondays until 6:30 p.m.
