La Casa Romantica, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a pre-eminent example of the Spanish Colonial Revival of Southern California, in City of San Clemente. La Casa Romantica was designed by architect Carl Lindbom and completed in 1928, two years after its more famous sister residence, La Casa Pacifica, which served as President Richard Nixon’s Western White House. The program for the adaptive re-use of the 7,000 SF 2.4 acre historic residence as a community cultural arts center includes a community library, conference rooms, historic exhibitions, art gallery, arts workshop and classrooms, administrative offices, gift shop, community park, and garden and a new amphitheater.
