Price  Anniversary House and the acreage included went to the estate of daughter Mary Ann. Family members lived in it for a while, and later it was rented out to the Guggia and Silveria families and others.

Abandoned in the late 1960s, it stood battered by the weather, thoroughly vandalized, and badly deteriorated, almost destroyed. The land was sold to the PVP development company to build Pacific Estates.

In 1983 the City of Pismo Beach acquired four acres including the house from PVP with the condition the land and historic house be set aside as a park.

Fernie Miranda, a building contractor working in Pismo Heights, looked down from the bluff and saw an old house near Pismo Creek.

While learning the history of this property, he developed a special feeling for the house and spearheaded an effort to restore the building and turn the area into a historic park.

A group was formed in 1991 to generate money for the restoration. This group was officially organized as a non-profit corporation known as the Friends of Price House, Inc. in April 1992.

Thirty years later, this organization continues to restore, preserve, and share the history of the Price Anniversary House.


Happy 30th Anniversary to the Friends of Price House!
