Shirley Temple's 1950 wedding ranch sells for $2.45 million
A Monterey, California ranch house where child star Shirley Temple married naval officer Charles Black in 1950 has sold for $2.45 million. Built in 1940 as a family retreat for naval officer Charles Black, the 2,180-square-foot adobe home is steeped in Hollywood history. Known as the Black family cottage Mesita, the property was featured on the cover of Sunset Magazine just a year after its construction in June 1941.
Shirley Temple described the cottage in her 1988 autobiography, noting the blend of Spanish mission and New England influences incorporated into its architecture.
