The Casa de Adobe, located directly below the Southwest Museum on Figueroa Street,
was completed in 1918 by the Hispanic Society of California and donated to the museum in 1925.
Modeled after the Rancho Guajome, a pre–1850s Spanish California rancho, the Casa was
designed by the office of architect Theodore Eisen and constructed in the traditional manner
by local adobe craftsmen. It consists of a series of rooms surrounding a central patio. The Casa's
holdings include furniture, paintings, decorative arts, tin work, and religious folk art.
Casa de Adobe is currently being used for museum events only.
