Casa de Estudillo

The Casa de Estudillo, also known as the Estudillo House, is a historic adobe house in San Diego, California.
It was constructed in 1827 by José María Estudillo and his son José Antonio Estudillo, early settlers of San Diego, and was considered one of the finest houses in Mexican California.
It is located in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park and is designated a National Historic Landmark in its own right.
The large building is a U-shaped structure, measuring 113 feet (34.4 m) on the front side, and 98 feet (29.9 m) on each of the wings.
It is constructed in the Spanish Colonial style, meaning that the house's 13 rooms are set consecutively in the building and connected only by an external covered corredor (as opposed to an interior hallway).

I expect to see Big John and Buck Cannon come striding out of the doorway, mount up and disappear off into the wide blue yonder! :o)
