Current company Casa Del Herrero
Non-Profit Organizations · 10 employees · Founded 1993 · Santa Barbara, California, United States
Casa del Herrero’s mission is to maintain, preserve, and restore the house, furnishings, gardens, and history of the Steedman/Bass estate for the benefit of the community, visiting public, scholars, educators, and students. Casa del Herrero, the “House of the Blacksmith,” is a time capsule of Montecito, California in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Designed by George Washington Smith, the Casa is one of the finest standing examples of Spanish Colonial Revival Architecture in America. It is included on the National Register of Historic Places and maintains National Historic Landmark status, partly due to its eclectic mix of Country Place Era and Moorish-inspired gardens created by Ralph Stevens, Lockwood de Forest, and Francis T. Underhill. What was once the private estate of industrialist George Fox Steedman and his descendants is now a historic house museum and garden, stewarded by a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to its preservation and availability to the visiting public. Visitors can view the Steedman Family Collection of Fifteenth and Sixteenth Century Fine and Decorative Arts from the Golden Age of Spain, and a revolving exhibition schedule showcasing metalsmithing and wood working equipment, antique books, craftsman’s sketchbooks, architectural drawings, and horticulture records.
