Landmark #46 Alameda County Visited: July 12, 2014 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? The ruins of José de Jesús Vallejo’s flour mill!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: In 1856, José de Jesús Vallejo, brother of General M. G. Vallejo, built a flour mill here, on his Rancho Arroyo de la Alameda. Niles was once called “Vallejo Mills.” The stone aqueduct built to carry water for the mill parallels Niles Canyon Road.
