Estudillo House
4000 Mason Street, San Diego, CA 92110
Helen Hunt Jackson’s hugely popular 1844 novel Ramona created the American public’s image of Mexican colonial life in Southern California and made its real-life locations into major tourist attractions. This 1820s adobe-block townhouse includes a Catholic chapel among its dozen rooms and billed itself as “Ramona’s marriage place” — where the mixed-race heroine wed her Native American beloved. Besides its literary fame, the house (supposedly haunted) also served as a refuge for women and children during the Mexican-American War. Admission is free.
