Why a list of adobe sites? While tracking down adobes to photograph I met John R. Kielbasa author of Historic Adobes of Los Angeles County. I told him that I was having trouble locating the Grazide Adobe in Rowland Heights. He knew its location and that is was torn down in 1972. Search over. I mentioned that I wanted to compile a list of adobe sites which might be useful to other adobe hunters and serve as a reminder to help preserve the adobes that still exist.Well not only did he like the idea, he already compiled such a list (which was not included in his book due to space limitations) that he offered for this Website. Thanks John! We'll be adding more sites and vintage photos as they become available. |

| Eduardo Poyorena also owned this adobe in Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana. He bought Rafael Peralta's land consisting of 2900 acres and built 2 adobes there. He later sold one of them to Gabriel Allen. Tim Miguel, a descendant of Eduardo Poyorena. |
