Help MHAA replace the gutters and the last section of roof at Casa Serrano!

Construction of this graceful adobe began in 1840. It was the long time residence of Florencio & Rita Serrano and their descendants. Casa Serrano has a special significance in California’s history because it served as one of the first schools after the U.S. flag was flown over the Custom House in 1846. Saved by MHAA from demolition in 1959 and then restored, it is open free to the public on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. It contains a remarkable collection of early California artwork and furnishings including one room devoted to the artist Jo Mora (1876−1947) whose 150th birthday anniversary is this year.
