Santa Barbara Real Estate

Looking for new owner, House Included

2010 Garden Street was built in 1894 by a man named William H. Crocker. He built five houses in a row, all along Garden Street, on land that was previously part of the olive orchard at the Old Mission Santa Barbara. Mr. Crocker was influential in the early days of California ​— ​helping to bring the railroad here and to define the architectural styles of the time. He hired an architect named Arthur Page Brown, who designed the Ferry Building in San Francisco and the California Building at the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893, to build these five houses in what was to be called the Mission Revival style. They were the first lath and stucco homes in the Santa Barbara area. The house served as Mr. Crocker’s vacation home when he was in Santa Barbara. He sold it 10 years later to its original family, the Willets. They moved here from Michigan in 1904 and brought the dog statue with them.

Offered at $4,595,000 5B6B 4620 sq. ft. with pool
