The Camarillo Ranch House, also known as Rancho Calleguas and Adolfo Camarillo House, is a significant historical site in Camarillo, California. This Queen Anne style Victorian house was built in 1892 and spans 6,000 square feet. The architectural design was the work of Herman Anlauf and Franklin Ward. The house stands as a testament to the architectural style of the time and offers a glimpse into the history of the area.

Camarillo Ranch House on the National Register of Historic Places

In recognition of its historical significance, the Camarillo Ranch House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. This designation underscores the importance of the house as a cultural and historical asset.

Restoration and Current Use of Camarillo Ranch House

Between 1999 and 2000, the City of Camarillo and the Camarillo Ranch Foundation collaborated on a $1.5 million restoration of the house, barn, and stables. Completed in 2001, the three-story, fourteen-room Queen Anne Victorian home now operates as a fully furnished museum. Visitors can take tours of the property and attend events held there, providing a unique opportunity to experience the history of the area firsthand.
