Monterey Colonial architecture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monterey Colonial is an architectural style developed in Alta California (California while it was still under Mexican rule) involving two stories, porches, a hip roof, and adobe walls. It was supposedly originated by Thomas O. Larkin who had moved from New England to Monterey, California and built the Larkin House in 1835. However, Mariano Vallejo began building another example, the Rancho Petaluma Adobe very soon after.
