Notes
Survey number HABS CA-1563
Building/structure dates:
1858 initial construction
Significance: Built in 1858. Its builder and first owner, "Captain" Granville P. Swift, can west with the Kelsey Party in 1843; and was a member of the Bear Flag Party that seized Sonoma and proclaimed California a Republic. The second owner was William Kissane, a fugitive from justice in the east, who had established himself in respectability in Sonoma as "Colonel" W.K. Rogers, and acquired property in 1863. The large two-story house is a superb example of modified Classical Revival, constructed of cut stone and field stone; it is an exceptional example, with its outbuildings, of an elaborate establishment for the place and period.
