PHOTOS (CLOCKWISE FROM FAR LEFT) COURTESY OF AMERICAN DANCE AND MUSIC, OPERA SANTA BARBARA/DAVID BAZEMORE, CASA DEL HERRERO, AND SANTA BARBARA MARITIME MUSEUM Casa del Herrero Whitewashed stucco walls are complemented by graceful arches, wrought iron, and colorful tile at Casa del Herrero, one of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in America. Designed by architect George Washington Smith and completed in 1925, the house is a National Historic Landmark and one of the only estates in Montecito that remains essentially unchanged. Industrialist, engineer, and amateur architect George Fox Steedman assembled an extraordinary team of architects, antiquarians, and horticulturists to create Casa del Herrero. Today, the 11-acre estate is owned and operated as a historic house museum and garden by the nonprofit Casa del Herrero. The organization preserves the house and grounds, as well as the family's collection of antiques, books, sketchbooks, drawings, and horticultural records. Tours are available by reservation only and include an interpretive walk through the house, furnished with 15th- and 16th-century antiques, the formal garden with orchards and fountains, and a one-of-a-kind smithy workshop. Come and experience this gracious Montecito estate. casadelherrero.com Santa Barbara Maritime Museum Located on the waterfront of the Santa Barbara Harbor, the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum takes visitors on a journey through the area's nautical heritage. Here, you can learn about everything from the early Chumash plank canoes to the 1969 oil spill that helped spark the modern environmental movement. The museum also features interactive exhibits such as a working periscope and virtual sport fishing. The museum's crown jewel, however, is the Point Conception Lighthouse First Order Fresnel Lens. Built in Paris in 1854, the lens stands 18 feet tall and features 624 glass prisms. sbmm.org usairwaysmag.com APRIL 2014 77 http://www.casadelherrero.com http://www.sbmm.org http://www.usairwaysmag.com
