No on site accessible parking. Wheelchair access is the back of the building on a different street. There is a driveway and a ramp down onto the patio Terrace.

Historic building from the days of the Spanish missions, a bit of hidden history in the middle of San Marino. Worth a visit, and be sure to check out the gallery space inside where the California Art Club always has some excellent art on display. The grounds are a very nice event space as well.
