Jensen Alvarado Ranch, Historic ranch in Jurupa Valley, United States.
The Jensen Alvarado Ranch features a Danish vernacular style house constructed with kiln-fired bricks and wooden beams transported from San Bernardino Mountains.
Danish sea captain Cornelius Jensen established the 300-acre ranch in 1865, building the first brick structure in Riverside County between 1868 and 1870.
The property combines Danish architectural elements with California traditions through the marriage of Cornelius Jensen and Mercedes Alvarado, a Californio family member.
The ranch operates as a museum at 4350 Riverview Drive, where visitors participate in educational programs about agricultural practices of 1880s California.
The ranch produced 2,000 gallons of wine annually from its vineyard, despite being located near Riverside, which maintained strict temperance regulations.
