Southwest Monterey or New Monterey as it called materialized as a neighborhood in the 1920’s through the 1940’s as housing was needed for workers involved in the enormous sardine cannery business of the time. Most of the homes on the hill above Cannery Row were smaller cottages, similar to this one, and were modest places younger people could call home.
Cannery Row was made into the most famous street in America by John Steinbeck's 1945 book "Cannery Row" that was written about the unique Monterey fish packing plants, bordellos and flophouses. Steinbeck was a local that grew up in Salinas, CA, went to college at Stanford and lived in Pacific Grove right next to Cannery Row.
