Monterey CA California Stevenson House Chrome Postcard Unused

This vintage postcard features the Stevenson House in Monterey, California, a historically significant landmark built in the late 1830s by Rafael Gonzales. The postcard captures the rustic charm of the building with its weathered white facade, wooden shutters, and garden in the foreground under a bright blue sky. Known for its association with Robert Louis Stevenson, who roomed here in 1879, the house later served as a store and home for the Girardin family. Today, it stands as a California State Historical Monument.

The postcard is produced by Lee Blaisdell Photo Service, Monterey, California, and printed using the Mirror-Krome® process by H.S. Crocker Co., Inc., San Francisco. The image was photographed by Vester Dick, showcasing a rich color palette and fine detail typical of mid-20th-century postcards. This original paper postcard measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches, making it a great collectible piece for enthusiasts of California history, vintage postcards, and literary landmarks.
