Casa Tierra, 15231 Quito Road, Saratoga, Santa Clara County, CA
Summary
Significance: This adobe structure was built in 1941 by Maude Meagher and Carolyn Smiley as the publishing house residence for World Youth, an international children's magazine. The two women, with the help of a few others, made the adobe by hand from the clay on site, and the roof tile is the last of the homemade tile used in replacement of tile on the California missions. It is reported to be the largest secular adobe in North America, containing some 13,000 square feet of floor space.
