Dallidet Adobe and Gardens Brochure

In 2010, the Hind Foundation granted $5,883 to the San Luis Obispo Historical Society (SLOCHS) to create a new brochure for use in educating the public about and building awareness of the Dallidet Adobe and Gardens.

SLOCHS serves local residents and visitors by collecting, preserving, exhibiting and providing access to relevant artifacts and materials. Built in 1859 by Pierre Hypolite Dallidet, the Dallidet Adobe is one of San Luis Obispo’s oldest buildings and has been designated California Historical Landmark #720. The original property had more than 16 acres including the first commercial winery on the Central Coast. The Adobe and Gardens were acquired by SLOCHS in 1953. Today, the Adobe and Gardens are open to the public for educational tours, events, and weddings.
