History

Noriega House’s history begins in 1872 when Faustino Mier emigrated from Spain. He settled in California with his uncle, taking the surname Noriega. In the following years, Faustino became a businessman and married his wife, Louisa. In 1900, they built their home in Bakersfield and used the property as a lodge for fellow Basque immigrants. Now a classic estate for events, the manor retains its 20th-century charm.
