Avila Adobe, Adobe residence in Los Angeles Plaza Historic District, United States.
The two-story adobe building contains seven rooms with walls three feet thick, made from sun-baked clay bricks and supported by cottonwood beams.
Francisco Avila, a successful cattle rancher who served as mayor of Los Angeles in 1810, constructed this residence in 1818 as his family dwelling.
