Lugo Adobe
114 East De la Guerra Street

This picturesque adobe is set back from East De la Guerra Street and is a part of the Meridian Studios complex developed by Bernhard Hoffmann in 1923-25. The adobe was constructed for a Presidio soldier, possibly around 1830. Mr. and Mrs. Hoffmann remodeled the building in 1922, pre-dating their work in the El Paseo area. It served as the first office of Santa Barbara's Plans and Planting Committee. It has been used as a studio and office since that time.
