Santa Barbara


This grand 19th-century colonial adobe home displays Spanish, Mexican and California heritage exhibits. Dating back two centuries, it's been authentically restored: its whitewashed adobe with red-tiled roofs was an architectural model for rebuilding all of downtown Santa Barbara after the devastating 1925 earthquake.
