​Casa Dolores, is a small museum that houses one of the largest collections of Mexican folk art on the Californian Central Coast.

Every corner of the home, including the tin art gallery tucked away in the bathroom, is adorned with Mexican folk art.

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.
