Built about 1835 as part of the complex developed by Thomas Oliver Larkin. Called La Casa de Los Cuatro Vientos because it was the first house with a weathervane on its hipped roof. The building was used as the first Hall of Records for Monterey County. In 1914 it was purchased by the Civic's Club and it is believed to be the oldest club house in the USA.
