Casa de Estudillo, located in San Diego, California, is a National Historic Landmark and one of the oldest surviving examples of Spanish architecture in the state. Built between 1827 and 1829, the Estudillo House served as a residence, town hall, chapel, shelter, tourist attraction, and museum throughout its history. With its adobe walls, large patio, and 13 rooms, the house was the social center of life in Old Town San Diego and played a significant role in the community.
The Estudillo House gained prominence through its association with Helen Hunt Jackson's popular novel Ramona, which romanticized Mexican colonial life in Southern California. The publication of the novel coincided with the opening of railroad lines to the region, attracting tourists interested in visiting the locations mentioned in the book. Today, Casa de Estudillo stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of California.
