There are many open balconies and stairs at the Santa Barbara which allow the birds to fly around the interior spaces---check out a number of the interior lamps and you’ll find nesting birds.
2 Sunken Garden
The Sunken Garden is host to community-wide celebrations all year long. What is often mistaken about this magical place is its layout of stone walls—many are told it is the basement of the former courthouse prior to the 1925 earthquake. This is myth. The sandstone blocks that form the current day landscape were recycled from the older courthouse buildings after the 1925 earthquake.
