| Landmark #515 | Contra Costa County | Visited: February 15, 2014 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | A restored adobe building now used as a private business! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: In 1834, Don Salvio Pacheco was awarded a grant called Monte del Diablo and on June 24, 1835 completed this two-story adobe, the first building to be erected in this valley. Don Salvio gave the land surrounding this adobe to the refugees of the earthquake-flood of 1868, and the community became known as Concord.
OTHER TIDBITS: The Pacheco family were direct descendents of California’s earliest Spanish settlers! Salvio’s father and grandfather took part in the Anza expedition! |
