Diego Sepulveda Adobe
Landmark #227 Orange County Visited: November 12, 2012 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? Diego Sepúlveda’s adobe still stands!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: This adobe house was built as a station of Mission San Juan Capistrano. After secularization the property became part of Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, and the adobe was used as headquarters of Diego Sepúlveda, later owner of the rancho.

OTHER TIDBITS: Don Diego Sepúlveda was formerly the alcalde (mayor) of Los Angeles. This was one of several of his adobe homes. This one was formerly a ranch house for the Mission’s cattle herders, there was another in San Pedro, and a third in Yucaipa!
