Description:
Also known as "Castro House," the adobe is associated with Jose Castro, Commandant General of Northern California.

In 1848, the house was purchased with California gold by the Breens, a prominent pioneer family famous as survivors of the ill-fated Donner party of 1846. The Breen family lived in the Castro-Breen adobe for many years. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 4/15/1970, NPS-70000141.
