Notes
Survey number HABS CA-1891
Unprocessed field note material exists for this structure (FN-62).
Significance: This oldest of existing adobes in the San Joaquin Valley is to be eliminated by the construction of a Central Valley Project reservoir. The adobe appears to have remained essentially as it was built. The foundations and woodwork have been restored and repaired. The gun ports in the walls are unusual elements in the construction.
