Description The Alviso Adobe, a two-story residence with a hipped roof and a balcony carried on three sides, is a very good example of the Monterey style of architecture and the only remaining example in the Santa Clara Valley and San Francisco Bay Area. The building is the result of a major re­ model completed by 1853 by Jose Maria and Juana Francisca Alviso who added a wood-frame second floor to the family's one-story adobe house.
