970 CHORRO ST. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA
Located at 970 Chorro Street, just steps from Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, The Sauer Adobe is one of the city’s oldest surviving structures — and now home to Karson Butler Hospitality Co. Believed to have been built in the early to mid-1800s, the adobe reflects California’s layered past, from its Mission-era roots through the Mexican Rancho period and into the early days of statehood.
Over nearly two centuries, the adobe has evolved alongside downtown San Luis Obispo, serving as a residence, storefront, and gathering place — each chapter adding to its enduring charm. Its thick adobe walls remain a testament to early craftsmanship and the spirit of those who shaped this community.
Today, The Sauer Adobe enters a new chapter as the home of Karson Butler’s design studio, gardens, and parlour — a place where history and hospitality meet, and where we’re honored to carry forward its legacy for generations to come.
