The Galindo-Leigh House is a historic house in Campbell, California. It was built in the 1830s for Juan Crisostobal Galindo, who became the Major Domo of the Mission Santa Clara a decade later. Galindo expanded the house in the 1840s.[2] It was purchased by John D. Gueraz in 1857, and by Delicia Leigh, in 1874.[2] Leigh was an aristocrat whose father, Alexander Leigh, who was a surgeon, had treated Napoleon.[2] The property has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 22, 1980.[1]
