Hiram D. Scott House, Greek Revival residence in Scotts Valley, United States

The Hiram D. Scott House is a wooden building from 1853 featuring classical Greek Revival architectural elements. The structure includes a parlor, two bedrooms, dining room, kitchen, and attic space built with mortise and tenon joinery.

The house was built in 1853 and connects to Hiram Scott, who purchased the San Augustin Rancho in 1850 and gave the town its name. His family lived there during the mid-1800s as the region was developing.

The house carries the name of Hiram Daniel Scott, who bought Rancho San Agustin in 1850 and gave Scotts Valley its name. It is a Santa Cruz County Historical Trust Landmark as well as a National Register property, and it stands behind City Hall.

The house stands at 4603 Scotts Valley Drive, behind City Hall. It is a Santa Cruz County Historical Trust Landmark and a National Register property, so it is seen from the outside; there is no museum interior to tour. Approach on foot from the Civic Center area and look for the Greek Revival form behind the modern civic buildings.

The house originally stood on Scotts Valley Drive, near the present site of a Bank of America branch, and was moved to its current spot behind City Hall. Hiram Daniel Scott gave the valley its name after buying Rancho San Agustin in 1850.
