McCrea House - Oakland, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The McCrea House, located on the southwest corner of the Holy Names College campus, is a wood frame structure, painted brown with white trim, shingle roofed, one-story except for the bedroom over the kitchen area. The present appearance of the structure dates to 1913» when George McCrea, a Bay Area architect, constructed his private residence there. Significant part of the basic structural material, however, date to the early nineteenth century, when the Peralta family, one of the most significant Californio families, constructed an adobe family chapel and wood frame structures on this site. McCrea in 1913 built his private residence around these structures, preserving much of the original building materials, including the adobe chapel wall. This adobe is covered in plaster and wood siding and is now in the area which served as McCrea's dining room." (visit link)
