Built in 1843 by Pascual Botillier, the Botillier Adobe is the only original two-story adobe that still stands in the city of Santa Barbara today.
The Botillier property initially covered several city blocks and included large gardens for growing vegetables and a vineyard for producing grapes to make wine. Conveniently housed near De La Vina Street, named for its location as the old wine district. |
