Harada House, in Riverside, California, was the focus of an important court case testing exclusionary legislation.

The 1916-1918 case of California v. Harada was an early constitutional test of an alien land law in the U.S. At issue was the right of the American-born children of Japanese immigrant Jukichi Harada to own this house. That right was upheld, setting precedent for related challenges to such laws.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1990.[1][3]

It is located at 3356 Lemon Street, in Riverside.
