Visit Berryessa Adobe, Santa Clara, California
Berryessa Adobe, a modest 38 by 18 foot home constructed of adobe bricks, was built in the late 1840s by Juan Chrisostomo Galindo - one of the first colonists to come to the Santa Clara Valley with the Juan Bautista de Anza Expedition. However, in “Old Santa Clara Valley: A Guide to Historic Buildings from Palo Alto to Gilroy” by Phyllis Filiberti Butler, it says, “According to local lore the building was once a mission jail for unruly Indian field hands. And since it has an outside staircase leading to an upstairs garret, not unlike Vancouver’s description of the Indian ‘apartments’ of 1792, the structure may in fact have been constructed earlier than is generally supposed.”
