Casa de Lopez
This was the first two-story adobe in the Valley designed in Victorian motifs by
Catalina Lopez and built as a two-story building by her brother, Valentin Lopez, in
1882. This was the home of Geronimo Lopez and Catalina Lopez who came from their
previous home kown as the Lopez Station. The earlier home was the stage stop for
travelers on the Fort Tejon Road through the valley. It was there that they
established the first English speaking school, the first general store and the first
post office in the Valley. In their new home they printed the first newspaper in the
Valley in 1889. The Lopez Adobe is furnished in original Victorian furnishings. There
is also a museum with changing displays.
