From the Santa Barbara (California) Independent " 'Museum' on West Valerio" by Betsy J. Green.
There is am old home at 230 W. Velerio Street in Santa Barbara which is like a walk back into time. It was built in 1912 for $1,500.
So, you might just be asking what exactly does this have to do with anything regarding the Civil War Navy?
Well, it is full of old stuff.
Owners Robert Sponsel and Patricia Chidlaw have it looking like a museum, but it isn't.
One of the most interesting objects in the house is a 1930s GE refrigerator. These were commonly nicknamed "Monitor" refrigerators because the round compressor located on top of it resembled the gun turret of the USS Monitor of Civil War fame.
I Don't Remember It.
But, Sure Beat the Old Ice Box. --Old B-Compressor
