The Cooper-Molera Adobe historic site in Monterey represents the rich history and complex origins of the state of California. Dating from 1827, the 2.4-acre site comprise adobe residences, an adobe warehouse and corner store, and a multi-building barn complex, all surrounded by an original adobe wall.

Through a non-profit/developer partnership, the Cooper-Molera project presents a new approach to the house museum model, balancing compelling historic interpretation and educational programs with appropriate and complementary commercial uses.

The project preserves Cooper-Molera’s organically developed character while maintaining the site’s inherent warmth, beauty, and authenticity. Meanwhile, combining interpretive aspects as well as compatible income-generating commercial use ensures a long-term revenue stream to reinvest in maintenance and stewardship of the property.
