It is described as one of the few and the oldest Greek Revival type buildings in the East Bay's small agricultural communities, with well-preserved interior and exterior. Descendants of the Galindo family have occupied it continuously, so few changes have been made since about 1875.","narrative":"Located at 1721 Amador Avenue in Concord, this two-story white frame house was built in stages. The southern section, of redwood on a brick basement, dates from the mid-1850s and shows simplified Greek Revival details. In 1875 a larger, more ornamental wing with bay windows and a front porch was added for Juan Crisostomo Galindo and his bride, Marina Amador. The house was built by Francisco Galindo, son-in-law of Salvio Pacheco, who with Pacheco and Fernando Pacheco laid out the town of Todos Santos in 1868; it was soon renamed Concord. The nomination describes it as the most significant wood frame structure in the city and the oldest Greek Revival type building in the area's small farming communities. Continuous occupation by the family left the house largely unchanged since about 1875, with original interior finishes and family furnishings and documents. Concord designated it a historic landmark in 1976.","period_of_significance":"1856-1875","architect_builder":"Not known; built by Francisco Galindo","architectural_style":"Greek Revival (southern section, simplified, or early Late Federal); late Italianate or early 1880s decorative style (northern section)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Excellent condition, unaltered, on its original site; occupied as a private residence by a Galindo descendant at the time of the form.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.691922-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/88000553.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88000553/f483fc2379-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88000553/f483fc2379-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Don_Francisco_Galindo_House_(Concord,_CA).JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Don_Francisco_Galindo_House_(Concord,_CA).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123858530","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Francisco_Galindo_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5292628"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/contra-costa-county/galindo-don-francisco-house-88000553/"}
