For some weird reason, I only took a few photos of this place and none were very good.  But, I thought it was interesting enough to share.  This is the "Franceschi House" in Santa Barbara.  The plaster medallions covered the house and they were added in the 1920's to commemorate Dr. Franceschi and other great Italian immigrants and figures from American history.
