Casa de la Guerra, Spanish Colonial adobe residence in Santa Barbara, United States
Casa de la Guerra stands as a two-story adobe structure with thick walls, wooden balconies, and a central courtyard at 15 East De la Guerra Street.
The residence, constructed between 1818 and 1828, served as home to José de la Guerra y Noriega, the fifth commandant of the Presidio de Santa Barbara.
The house became a center for Santa Barbara social life, hosting numerous community festivals, religious ceremonies, and traditional celebrations throughout the 19th century.
The Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation maintains the property as a museum, offering guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays with exterior views available daily.
Richard Henry Dana documented the grand wedding festivities of De la Guerra's daughter Anita in his book, detailing the celebrations at this residence.
