The Avila Adobe--The Oldest Existing House in Los Angeles

Built by Don Francisco Avila as his townhouse, it is the oldest existing house in Los Angeles. It also served as headquarters for Commodore Robert Stockton during the Mexican American War, and later as a boarding house and restaurant. It now houses a museum representing the lifestyle of Los Angeles in the 1840s.

This entire area is an interesting one. Please spend some time checking out some of the historic sites, and maybe even the tacky little shops. (Try some catus candy.)

To log this cache, find the plaque on the front of the building. It commemorates Stockton. E-mail me the two dates on the plaque.

Stopped at Union Station on my rail/subway trip from San Diego to Hollywood. Spent a little extra time to find this cache and several close by waymarks. E-mail sent. TFTC

Out with thevidiot. There were many places to look for information, but I do believe we came up with that which was needed. Nice day in downtown!
