Sonoma Barracks, Military barracks in Sonoma, United States
The two-story adobe building features wide balconies and stands prominently along the central plaza of Sonoma, California.
General Vallejo ordered the construction of these quarters between 1839 and 1841 to accommodate Mexican troops transferred from San Francisco's Presidio.
The barracks served as the headquarters during the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846, marking a turning point in California's transition from Mexican to American control.
Visitors can explore the restored military quarters daily as part of the Sonoma State Historic Park, with guided tours available throughout the year.
After its military use ended in 1852, the building transformed into various establishments, including a winery, law office, and private residence.
