Peter J. Weber House

The Peter J. Weber House, a historic landmark in Riverside, California, was built between 1932 and 1938 by architect Peter J. Weber as a family residence. This eclectic house showcases a unique blend of Medieval Spanish, Moorish, and Mediterranean architectural influences, utilizing salvaged materials and featuring ornate hand-carved details. Notable for its innovative design, the house includes a 1935 solar water heater and seismic fittings for earthquake protection.
