Moraga Adobe, Adobe house in Orinda, California, US.
The Moraga Adobe sits on a knoll within a 20-acre property, featuring original mud construction and later wooden additions to the structure.
Built in 1841 by Joaquin Moraga on a Mexican land grant, this residence represents the oldest standing adobe house in Contra Costa County.
The structure connects to Jose Joaquin Moraga, who led expeditions resulting in the establishment of San Francisco's Presidio and Mission Dolores.
The property remains closed to visitors, with protective boards covering windows to prevent damage while preservation efforts continue.
Eight historical markers within three miles surround this adobe, which received California Historical Landmark designation number 509 in 1953.
