A Guide to Santa Barbara, Circa 1872
Santa Barbara has long been known as a destination for travelers from the East. For health-seekers and those interested in relocating, its mild climate and beautiful setting were described in publications widely distributed. These impressions describe a time gone by, with some features still in existence today. Enjoy these glimpses of long-ago Santa Barbara from a publication housed in the archives of the Library of Congress.
—Cheri Rae
FROM THE INTRODUCTION
Let us go to Santa Barbara!
The descriptions that come from there are enchanting as well as appetizing. Olive and orange groves; stately walnut trees; vines clustering on the hillside; fruits of every variety — tropical, semi-tropical, and temperate; orchards equaling those of Sorrento, and an air from the ocean as soft and refreshing as from the Mediterranean. Beach drives unequaled; mountain views unrivaled; romantic glens and groves.
HOTELS
The leading hotel is the Shaw House. It is a large, three-story brick building, on the corner of State and Haley streets. Incorporated in the brick work is a solid framework of timber which was first put up, braced and anchored in the strongest manner, to give firmness to the structure. Broad verandas front on the two streets, and the rooms are handsomely furnished, pleasant and sunny. Mr. Shaw is an accommodating landlord, and the house is well kept and generally full of guests. It was completed in the autumn of 1871. The transient charge is $2.00 per day.
THE HOT SPRINGS
Up a steep winding road that bores like a corkscrew into the heart of the mountain lie hidden away mineral springs of rare remedial power. The sick drink of the waters and bathe in them and are healed. The well drive up of a morning, and go into the steaming pool of Siloam for pleasure. The scenery is rough and craggy … but go out on one of those jutting rocks and you will look down upon a view that amply repays the exertion. The limited accommodations for invalid visitors at the springs are generally tasked
to the utmost. A large hotel within a mile would never lack for patronage. The medicinal qualities of these waters will be referred to again.
CLIMATE FOR INVALIDS
Many consumptives visit this part of the country and derive much benefit from its equable climate, which makes it especially appropriate to this class of patients, who besides find much attraction in the pleasant drives along the hard sea beach, or in the healthful rides and walks up the many romantic little dells and valleys and over the low rolling hills, covered here and there with clumps of evergreen oak, sycamore, cotton-wood laurel, alder, and other trees and shrubs too numerous to mention. We have every attraction that one of these days will make Santa Barbara a favorite resort for invalids, convalescents, and all those who desire to pass a quiet, peaceful and healthy life.
CHEAP HOUSE BUILDING
Most houses are of wood, and of the kind called “Balloon” or “Chicago” frames, fastened together with nails and with no upright posts larger than 2x4 inches. These are the strongest kind of wooden buildings. For the farmer in haste to build and to build cheaply, an adobe house is by no means to be despised. It can be built by natives working at $20 a month, of common earth, saving the price of lumber, skilled labor and transportation. The walls are two to three feet thick, and the house is very comfortable, being cool in summer and warm in winter. They are roofed with tiles, shingles or “shakes.” A comfortable frame house of four rooms and a piazza, for a small family, painted inside and out, and finished with cloth and paper instead of plaster, can be put up in town for $500.
On a farm, paint, cloth and plaster can be dispensed with for a while, when economy is necessary, and the cost will be much reduced. Dwellings are necessary mainly for privacy, and very slight, cheap structures are as good as the warm and more costly ones of colder climates. As a rule, farmers live in small and cheap houses, the climate — which permits children to play out of doors for at least 300 days in the year and makes the piazza or the neighboring shade tree pleasanter than a room, in winter or summer — being probably to blame for it.
The dwelling is a less important part of the farm than at the East. A cellar is not necessary, nor are two stories. A long range of rooms with broad and comfortable piazzas is the best-copied after the adobes of the natives, and very convenient for doing housework. Our fences are cheap, durable and tight. Poles are cut in the chapparal [sic] seven or eight feet long by natives at $8 per 1,000. A plow runs a furrow along the proposed line of fence, the poles are set in the trench close together and tied at a height of five feet to a pole running horizontally, the furrow is filled up with dirt again and the fence is done. The expense is about seventyfive cents per rod.
HUNTING AND FISHING
Game of various kinds abounds in the county. The famous grizzly may be met in the mountains, if anyone desires such an interview. Such meetings are not apt to be wholly satisfactory except to the grizzly, as he usually closes the proceedings by eating the interviewer. Hare are numerous, where the sage bush grows to afford them shelter. Rabbits are found everywhere. Wild ducks are abundant in the winter, on the miniature ponds in the fields, caused by the rains. Quail are plentiful in the foothills. There are many of the small brown or “cinnamon” bear in the mountains, and the California lion, a species of panther. Bear may even be seen grazing among the cattle as feed and water grow scarce in the late summer. The mountain streams offer fine trout to disciples of Izaak Walton, and there are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught for those who would angle more luxuriously.

READY TO SELL YOUR HOME?
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LISTING AGENT
Selling your home is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll make, and finding the right real estate professional to guide you through the process is key. To help you navigate this important choice, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has published a consumer guide featuring ten essential questions to ask when selecting a listing agent. As the 2025 President of the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS®, I’m sharing these valuable questions with you to ensure you feel confident and empowered when choosing an agent to sell your home.
1. Are You a REALTOR®?
Not all real estate agents are REALTORS®. When you work with a REALTOR®, you’re working with a professional who adheres to a strict Code of Ethics designed to protect and promote your interests as a client. This ethical foundation ensures you receive service rooted in integrity and trust.
2. What Services Do You Provide?
Selling a home is a complex process, and your agent
should handle key aspects like marketing your property, managing showings, negotiating offers, and guiding you through the closing process. Understanding the scope of services your agent will provide is essential.
3. Are You Familiar with My Local Market?
Local expertise is a valuable asset when selling your home. An agent familiar with our area can offer unique insights into neighborhood trends, pricing strategies, and buyer behavior. This knowledge can significantly impact your home’s success in the market.
4. What’s in the Listing Agreement?
Your relationship with your agent begins with a listing agreement, a contract that outlines their responsibilities, the agreed-upon sale price, and their compensation. Remember, agent commissions are fully negotiable, so don’t hesitate to discuss terms that work for you.
5. How Did You Determine the Suggested List Price?
Setting the right asking price is crucial to attracting buyers and maximizing your return. Your agent should provide a detailed market analysis and explain their pricing recommendation to ensure it aligns with current market conditions.
6. How Will You Market My Home?
Marketing is key to reaching potential buyers. From listing your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to using social media, online platforms, and traditional advertising, your agent should have a clear strategy to showcase your home effectively.
7. What Can Attract Buyers?
Agents can use various strategies to make your home more appealing, such as offering compensation to buyer agents or providing seller concessions. These approaches can make your property stand out and encourage competitive offers.
8. What Should I Do to Prepare My Home?
To make a strong impression, your agent might recommend repairs, upgrades, or staging techniques. These steps can enhance your home’s appeal and attract serious buyers.
9. How Will You Vet Buyers?
Screening potential buyers is critical to avoid delays or complications.Youragentshouldensurethatprospectivebuyersarefinancially prepared by verifying pre-approval letters or reviewing cash offers.
10. Can You Provide References?
The best way to gauge an agent’s expertise is to hear from past clients. Ask for references to learn about their experience, approach, and success rate.
These questions are designed to empower you as a seller and help you find an agent who will be the right fit for your needs.
As always, the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS® is here as a resource for our community. With the right preparation and guidance, you’ll be well on your way to a successful sale.

“The Richardsons provided us really great service in selling our house. They explained everything carefully, and handled everything personally. They always responded quickly to messages and phoned us evenings, weekends, whenever they had any news for us. They couldn’t have gone to more trouble and were a pleasure to deal with. Everything was brought to a very satisfactory conclusion. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
