Centinela Adobe, Spanish Colonial adobe house in Inglewood, California, US.

The Centinela Adobe features thick adobe walls, wooden beams, and a traditional Spanish Colonial architectural design with a stone foundation stretching across its structure.

Ignacio Machado constructed this residence in 1834 as the main building of the 25,000-acre Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela during the Mexican Alta California period.

The Historical Society of Centinela Valley maintains exhibits showcasing early regional developments, including the first poultry colony and domesticated chinchilla farm in the area.

Visitors can explore the adobe house museum every Sunday between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, with additional weekday tours available through advance reservations.

The Freeman Land Office, relocated to the complex in 1975, served as the administrative center for selling plots that would later form the city of Inglewood.
