7. "El Paseo De La Guerra", Santa Barbara, California
A rare reminder of the old Spanish residency in California. Built by Captain Jose De la Guerra, who served for many years as commandant of Santa Barbara. Distinguished people were entertained here and this household was famous for its hospitality. Descendants of the original owners still reside in the east wing and adjacent is a charming street of shops.
