State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.Places Earth recently encountered closed state parks in Arizona and California is threatening to close all state parks. The story is similar throughout the country. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep these parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement |

Before the arrival to Europeans, an Ohlone Indian village, called Pruristac, occupied this site. The Ohlone's enjoyed an abundance of natural resources and they were skilled basket makers and hunters and gatherers. The Portola expedition explored the vallay and later, Mission San Francisco de Asis established an asistencia at the site. Asistencia San Pedro y San Pablo was established in 1786 to grow food for the mission. The asistencia closed with secularization in 1834. In 1839, part of the Rancho San Pedro, the former asistencia land, was granted to Francisco Sanchez in return for his service to Mexico. Sanchez built this adobe for his family between 1842 and 1846 on part of the old asistencia foundations. Following the death of Sanchez in 1862, the adobe and part of the land was sold in 1871 to General Edward Kirkpatrick who expanded the house. The adobe became the San Pedro Hotel in 1908 and a speakeasy during prohibition, then continued operating as a restaurant until the late 1930s. The adobe served as a farm building in the 1940s. In 1947, San Mateo County purchased the adobe and 5 acrea and by 1953, restoration was complete. The site opened as a historic site and is currently operated by San Mateo County Historical Association. California Registered Landmark 3391. Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Saturday and Sunday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Address: 1000 Linda Mar Boulevard Pacifica, California 94044 650-359-1462 |
