Stevenson House, Monterey











STEVENSON HOUSE




Robert Louis Stevenson lived in a rooming house called the French Hotel in Monterey in 1879, and gathered inspiration for his novel Treasure Island on his walks about the Monterey Peninsula.


I'm sure he saw Asilomar through the Monterey Pines.



And he surely saw Colton Hall, where California's first constitutional convention was held in 1849.
