The B. V. Sargent House, also known as Sargent House and located at 154 Central Ave. in Salinas, California, is a historic house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places that is believed to have represented a great change in local building styles and to have opened popularity in the area for colonial decorative architecture.[2]
It was built in 1897 and is a work of architect William H. Weeks. Its NRHP nomination asserts it is an "excellent example of changing tastes in architecture at the turn of the twentieth century in rural California", and that the house "is also perhaps, the most fully realized expression of architect William H. Weeks'(1864-1936) early 'modified colonial' style". It cost $7,500 to be built by contractor L.U. Grant.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
In 2014 it was purchased by the Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real and renovated as the diocesan headquarters, which was moved there from Seaside, California in January 2015.
