Casa de Machado, also called Casa de Machado y Silvas, is a historical adobe building in San Diego, California, built in 1832. The Casa de Lopez site is a California Historical Landmark No. 71, listed on December 6, 1932. Casa de Machado was built by José Manuel Machado, a leatherjacket company soldier of the New Spain Army, stationed in San Diego. José Manuel Machado built a house, Casa de Stewart, for his daughter Rosa. Rosa married Jack Stewart, a pilot boat operator from Maine. The Stewarts eventually enlarged the house. Carmen Stewart Meza lived in the house for some years. In the 1850s it was a commercial restaurant. The Machado y Silvas family owned the house until the 1930s. In the 1930s and early 1940s it was a rooming-house, café, art studio, and souvenir shop. In 1942, the house became a church, Machado Memorial Chapel. Casa de Machado was acquired by California State Parks in 1968, who had it restored. The Casa de Machado y Silvas house's current address, 2737 San Diego Avenue, in Old Town, San Diego.[1] [2][3][4][5]
