Josiah Merritt Adobe


The Josiah Merritt Adobe, located at 386 Pacific St. in Monterey, California and also known as Merritt House, is a historic house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was built in 1830 and is architecturally significant as perhaps the only example of Greek Revival temple form architecture applied to an adobe building in Mexican California. The Benicia State Capitol Building included the Greek temple format but is made of stone or masonry. The building was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. In 1979 the house was developed into a small hotel.
