History
The house was in built in 1847 by Henry A. Green. The property was owned by John H. Nash. That same year, in July, William T. Sherman arrested John H. Nash and held him in the house. Nash was the magistrate of Sonoma during the Bear Flag Revolt, and he refused to step down to allow Lilburn W. Boggs to take over. By 1848, the Lewis and Nancy Patton Adler were living in the adobe. Nancy Adler was a survivor of the Donner Party. By 1866, a butcher lived in the house. The attic was used for curing meats. It was restored by Nancy Adler's great-granddaughter, Zolita Bates, in 1931.
