The Hollister Adobe at Cuesta College
By Dennis Judd Emeritus History Faculty
Wednesday, October 11, 4:00-4:50 p.m.
Room 6305
Description
The Hollister Adobe is Cuesta's deepest root; originally owned by a soldier of the Mission system who retired to the three room adobe in the 1830's. The three rooms of adobe were encapsulated inside the 22 room Hollister home until exposed by the expansion of Camp San Luis Obispo in 1940; the adobe was the site of an outdoor chapel serving as a sanctuary for some of the 50,000 soldiers who would soon to be posted to the Pacific. The adobe was inherited by Cuesta College in 1963, and restored by the campus community in 1970. Slight damage caused by the December '03 San Simeon Earthquake had the college close the building. This deepest root on our campus once again needs our support for full restoration.
