 barn, adobe structure, gift shop, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places
The Kottinger barn was built in 1852 by John W Kottinger, near his home, which was closer to Main Street. The adobe structure has served many purposes over the years. John Kottinger was the first Justice of the Peace in the area, and used the north-west corner of the barn as a jail. He added a tunnel from his house, which served as the courthouse, to the barn so that prisoners could not be liberated by outlaws. This was one of many tunnels in downtown Pleasanton.

The barn is now occupied by Milfleur, which is a gift shop.
