This structure reminds me of the houses we used to call "tangwena" or "flat" in Mototi, Southern Zimbabwe. They were usually one or two-roomed structures, with decorated or plastered walls and asbestos or tin roofs. The adobe houses in historic Monterey were introduced by the Spanish explorers in the 1600s. Monterey then was Spanish California's capital. It was fun walking along the two-mile historic path, clearly marked, and richly decorated and preserved.  

No, this one did not remind me of any structure in Mototi, but those red bricks did make me think of the common thatched rondavels or huts. The four-cornered houses seemed to always be plastered, so the red bricks were not usually exposed.
