Dallidet Adobe, California Historical Landmark in San Luis Obispo, United States.
Dallidet Adobe is an 1856 adobe residence with multiple rooms filled with period furnishings and objects from that era. The structure combines Spanish building techniques with European elements and displays how homes of this period were constructed.
Pierre Hypolite Dallidet built this house in 1856 after leaving France for California to seek opportunity. His arrival coincided with a period when European immigrants began settling along the California coast.
The house shows how French immigrants adapted their way of living and craft traditions in California. The room layout and furnishings tell the story of daily life for a prosperous wine merchant during the 1800s.
The house sits in downtown San Luis Obispo and is maintained by a local history organization that offers tours. Check ahead for visiting hours, as access times can vary with the season and special events.
The property passed to the San Luis Obispo County Historical Society in 1953, when Paul Dallidet gave it in his family's memory. The site carries California Historical Landmark number 720, a designation that marks it among the state's recorded historic places.
