Castro Adobe State Historic Park Details
Built-in 1848, this two-story building is one of the finest examples of an adobe Mexican Rancho. It was built by Juan Jose Castro, son of Jose Joaquin Castro, although the home exchanged hands over the next century before being turned over to the state park system. Because it was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1989, the rancho underwent significant restoration to stabilize its structure.
