William Hood House, Historic house in Santa Rosa, California, United States.

The William Hood House is a two-story brick building on Sonoma Highway in Santa Rosa, built in 1858 from bricks made on the property. It is listed as California Historical Landmark 692 and on the National Register of Historic Places since February 6, 1998. The house was built together with an adobe building, a vineyard and a winery, none of which remain.

William Hood built the house in 1858 using bricks made on the property; an adobe building, a vineyard and a winery were built alongside it, none of which remain. After passing through several owners, including US Senator and mining magnate Thomas Kearns, the Knights of Pythias bought it in 1924. The Los Guilicos School for Girls purchased the land in 1943. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 6, 1998.

The residence is named after its original builder and shows how affluent families of the region lived and furnished their homes. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship in fireplaces and wooden fixtures that reflect the daily life of a well-to-do household from that era.

The house stands on Sonoma Highway north of central Santa Rosa, near the Hood Mountain park area. A sign posted in November 2008 announced that the house would open to the public after restoration, so check locally before planning a visit inside. The grounds can be viewed from the road.

The brick walls display visible differences because workers used varying firing techniques when making the bricks on site, giving the exterior an uneven appearance. This natural character reveals the handmade nature of 19th-century building work.
