About This Home

Every historic home has a story...Behind the doors of 1122 Harrison Street is one that has become part of Monterey's history.Welcome to the Ruth S. Rodefer House, a Monterey Colonial in the heart of Old Monterey. Protected under the Mills Act, this architectural treasure offers qualifying owners substantial property tax savings while preserving one of Monterey's historic landmarks.Designed in 1929 by noted architect Albert B. Coats, the home was inspired by Monterey's iconic Old Custom House, making it one of Old Monterey's finest examples of Monterey Colonial architecture.The full-width open balcony offers ocean views beyond the historic rooftops of Old Monterey. California redwood framing, hand-hewn beams, original stained-glass windows, and an acid-washed front door showcase timeless craftsmanship. The lumber was supplied by the legendary M.J. Murphy Lumber Company.Built for Ruth S. Rodefer and her husband, bookkeeper of the Sea Pride Packing Company, the first Japanese American-owned sardine cannery on Cannery Row, the home reflects an important chapter in Monterey's cultural and maritime history.As a unique bonus, a 1999 Porsche Boxster is included with the sale.The Ruth S. Rodefer House is a rare opportunity to own one of Old Monterey's architectural treasures.
