La Casa Primera de Rancho San Jose
La Casa Primera de Rancho San Jose, Adobe residence in Pomona, United States.
The five-room adobe structure features traditional Mexican architectural elements with thick walls made from adobe bricks and simple interior layout.
Built in 1837 by Ygnacio Palomares on the 22,000-acre Rancho San Jose land grant, this residence stands as the oldest building in Pomona Valley.
The house exemplifies the early California ranching period when Mexican settlers established their homes and agricultural operations in the region.
