About Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe
In 2007, Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks (Friends) began the years long effort to restore the Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe in collaboration with California State Parks. Over the next 15 years, Friends, State Parks, and the community came together to repair and restore the historic adobe inside and out. Work included earthquake repairs using hundreds of 85-pound adobe bricks made on site; seismic stabilization and a new roof; strengthening the second story with the insertion of an innovative steel beam; installation of a lift to guarantee universal access to the second floor; the addition of electrical and fire suppression systems; restoration of the historic cocina (kitchen) and the Potter-Church Garden; procurement of historic furnishings and completion of interpretive planning. The restoration was completed in 2022. The Castro Adobe will be the newest State Historic Park in California.
