Another great, well preserved structure of old Monterey, with that Monterey style balcony. From 1835; claims that it is the first California structure with a second story and a chimney!

2nd visit! Too bad not open!

I love. it was nice to learn something new

Great place and a lot of history, including the barn that General Sherman inhabited during his brief stay in California. The gardens are beautiful as well.

Little hidden gem of a state park open to the public, with a nice garden.

This home was built during Montereys Mexican Period by Thomas Oliver Larkin.  It is known as the prototype for Monterey Colonial architecture.  Larkin was an American merchant who operated a store out of his home.  Great visit.****
