The Rafael Gonzales House is an historic house located at 835 Laguna Street in Santa Barbara, California. The National Historic Landmark (NHL) Statement of Significance, written in 1970, reads:
"Built about 1825 by Don Rafael Gonzales, this one-story house with two one-room wings, covered verandas, and a tile roof is typical of Mexican-era adobe town houses of moderate size. Its main section is about 90' by 18', the adobe walls at least 2' thick. Covered verandas extend along both long sides of the house."[2]
The Rafael Gonzales House was designated a National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970, and added to the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3]
The building is currently home to a bookstore, Randall House Rare Books.[4] A plaque there says: "Built in 1825 by Rafael Gonzales, later alcalde of Santa Barbara. Owned by his daughter Salome de Ramirez from 1866 to 1923."
