Jose Maria Alviso Adobe, Mediterranean Revival adobe residence in Milpitas, United States.

The adobe structure features thick walls with a second story, three balconies, and a symmetrical layout with three rooms on each floor.

Built in 1837 and expanded in 1853, this residence belonged to Jose Maria Alviso, who served as an alcalde of Pueblo de San Jose.

The building combines Hispanic and Anglo architectural elements through its wood-shingled roof, French doors, and multi-paned windows from different construction periods.

The property maintains its original adobe walls from the 1830s, along with doors, windows, and hardware from 1853, plus a kitchen from 1920.

This structure stands as the only remaining example of Monterey Colonial architecture in the Santa Clara Valley and San Francisco Bay Area.
