Casa de Stewart was built by José Manuel Machado, a leatherjacket company soldier of the New Spain Army, stationed in San Diego. Machado built the house for his daughter Rosa. Rosa married Jack Stewart, a pilot boat operator from Maine. The Stewarts eventually enlarged the house. Carmen Stewart Meza lived in the house for 50 years; she moved out after a 1966 flood. Casa de Stewart was acquired by California State Parks, who had it restored to a museum, Casa de Machado y Stewart Museum.[1][2][3] The house's current address, is 2707 Congress street, at Congress and Mason Streets, in Old Town, San Diego. Casa de Machado y Silvas, built in 1832, is also a California Historical Landmark.[4][5][6]
