The Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe is one of the grandest of adobe buildings representing the Mexican Rancho Period of California history (1821-1848) and beyond. The Castro Adobe was built between 1848-1850 by Juan Jose Castro, son of Jose Joaquin Castro, who was an original Juan Bautista de Anza Expedition member. This two-story adobe hacienda features a spacious fandango room on the second floor and an original cocina, one of the very few remaining original rancho cocinas in California.
