This two-story 1847 adobe houses the Monterey Museum of the American Indian.  A unique original feature was a water well enclosed inside (instead of outside) the south end of the building.

A beautiful walled Memory Garden is the setting each June for the annual Merienda celebrating Monterey's birthday.
