The Peter J. Bontadelli House, at 119 Cayuga St. in Salinas, California, is a historic house that was built in 1907. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979,[1] it was then the unique example of Second Empire architecture in all of Monterey County, California. It was built by Peter J. Bontadelli (1850-1935), an immigrant from Switzerland who had experience in Paris as a painting contractor. Bontadelli became a leader of the Swiss-American community in the area, including co-founding and serving as first president of the Swiss-American Rifle Club which opened in 1900 and is still operating in 2013 (now as the Monterey County Swiss Rifle Club).[2] The house is of very high architectural quality.[3]
