Significance: Built in 1860 by W.P. Toler; it is said to be the first brick house erected in Alameda County. A.C. Peachy purchased the house from Rafaela Sanchez Peralta (Ignacio's widow) on May 18, 1875. Immediately thereafter Peachy added a large wood extension at the back of the house, with important dining room, gallery, etc. Technically a 2-1/2 story building, the old Peralto house has its main reception room on the second story; Peachey continued this emphasis on the second story in his additions, treating the ground floor as a basement...One of the most interesting of the 19th century houses in San Leandro, it has additional historic associations with the large and land-rich Peralta family - pioneers in the area.
