The Pescadero Native Sons’ Community Hall was built in 1890 for $4,537 using Victorian Gothic plans provided by the Methodist-Episcopal Church. On opening day its preacher proclaimed, “Search where you will, no prettier, more convenient and symmetrical church can be found.”
Though it failed as a church, the Hall went on to serve as the schoolhouse after the 1906 earthquake, a social hall, and, importantly, as a Japanese Cultural Center from 1926 until 1941. The Native Sons and Daughters jointly owned the Hall from 1941 through 1999. The Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
In 2000, the Native Sons’ Pebble Beach Parlor and the Pescadero History Project joined together to restore the Hall and operate it as a community center for the benefit of the Pescadero community.
In 2020, the Native Sons of the Golden West, Parlor 230, acquired the share from the Pescadero History Project and is now sole owner of the Hall. They will continue to restore the structure and operate if for the good of the community.
Private events subsidize Hall operations.
