The Rómulo Pico Adobe!

Rómulo Pico Adobe (Ranchito Rómulo)
Landmark #362 Los Angeles County Visited: April 17, 2011 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? An adobe house that was occupied by Andrés Pico and renovated by Rómulo Pico!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: The oldest portion of the adobe was built about 1834 by ex-mission Indians. It was enlarged by Eulogio de Celís in 1846, and an upper story added by Rómulo Pico in 1874. The house was restored by Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Harrington in 1930.
