Back:
THE LARKIN HOUSE
In 1832, Thomas O. Larkin came to Mon-
terey. He opened a wholesale and retail
store, and became the first and only United
States Consul to California.
Next to the Larkin House, is an old adobe,
built by Larkin in 1834. Here was head-
quartered William Tecumseh Sherman, when
he was stationed at Monterey. At that time,
the man who was later to be a famous Civil
War General was a Lieutenant.
General Halleck was also headquartered
here. Sherman as a youth in Monterey,
figured in one of Monterey's wistful legends.
