Vallejo Home, Gothic Revival house museum in Sonoma, United States.

The Vallejo Home is a house museum in Sonoma featuring Gothic Revival and Victorian design with detailed wooden trim, tall windows, and ornate exterior details from the 1850s. The building displays how these two architectural styles combine throughout its structure and decoration.

Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo began buying land for the house after returning from California's constitutional convention in Monterey in 1849. The prefabricated two-story wood-frame house was built on the East Coast in 1851–1852, shipped around Cape Horn, and assembled beside the Chiucuyem spring. Vallejo lived there from 1852 until his death in 1890. The State acquired the home and about 20 acres in 1933; it was listed on the National Register on June 29, 1972.

The home reflects how wealthy Californians lived in the 1800s, with rooms arranged to show daily routines and family life from that era. The displayed objects reveal the habits and priorities of the period's upper class.

The house sits at the end of a quarter-mile driveway that was lined with cottonwood trees and Castilian roses. The grounds hold the spring-fed pool, a vine-covered arbor, El Delirio and the Cook House behind the main house. The site is part of Sonoma State Historic Park and is a California Historical Landmark.

The house was prefabricated on the U.S. East Coast, shipped around Cape Horn, and assembled beside the spring in 1851–1852. Bricks were set inside its walls to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer, and each room had its own white marble fireplace.
