Harada House, in Riverside, California, was the focus of an important court case testing exclusionary legislation.

The 1916-1918 case of California v. Harada was an early constitutional test of an alien land law in the U.S. At issue was the right of the American-born children of Japanese immigrant Jukichi Harada to own this house. That right was upheld, setting precedent for related challenges to such laws.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1990.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/77000325.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Harada House] |153 KB|date=May 30, 1990 |author=James H.
