Casa Serrano
Casa Serrano is classic Monterey, in its story and its design. It was the home of Monterey's second alcade (mayor) under American rule, Don Florencio Serrano, who emigrated from Spain via Mexico City in the 1830s. He found employment in the small village of Monterey as a teacher and clerk in various offices. He and his wife had six children, and in 1843, Don Florencio built them a home on Pacific Street.
