VIDEO. From the Half Moon Bay Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022 at 6:00pm by Zoom.
The Johnston House of Half Moon Bay, California
Really Excellent Video. Learn about the history of the James Johnston House. The house sits on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, east of Route One, just south of the city of Half Moon Bay. Isolated, its silhouette is a remarkable sight against the rolling hillsides golden brown until the winter rains turns them green. The classic New England saltbox (two stories in front, one in back) was built by ’49er pioneer James Johnston between 1853-1855, for his Californiano bride, Petra Maria de Jara. ~ Thanks HMB Media
