Casa del Herrero, Spanish Colonial Revival mansion in Montecito, United States.

Casa del Herrero is a Spanish Colonial Revival residence in Montecito designed by architect George Washington Smith and completed in 1925. The property encompasses numerous acres with Mediterranean-style gardens, decorative fountains, and a functioning blacksmith workshop containing period metalworking tools and equipment.

George Fox Steedman and his wife moved from St. Louis and commissioned architect George Washington Smith to build the house, completed in 1925. The Steedmans moved in on the same day as the Santa Barbara earthquake. Steedman, an industrialist, engineer and amateur architect, oversaw every detail of the buildings, furnishings and gardens. In the 1930s Lutah Maria Riggs designed the octagonal library addition.

The name means "House of the Blacksmith," and the estate holds a blacksmith workshop with period tools. George Fox Steedman filled the house with antique tiles, art and furniture, and the gardens by Ralph Stevens mix Mediterranean and exotic plants, including a cactus collection in the Arizona Gardens.

Tours of the house, gardens and blacksmith workshop are docent-led and available by reservation only, on Wednesdays and Saturdays; private tours can be arranged on request. The address is 1387 East Valley Road, Montecito. The garden spaces may also be booked for commercial and non-commercial photo shoots.

The original owner George Fox Steedman created meticulous technical drawings documenting every architectural and mechanical element of the property. These records allowed later conservators to understand and restore the original design and function of the estate with remarkable precision.
