Peña Adobe, Historic adobe house in Vacaville, US.
Pena Adobe is a historic house in Vacaville built from sun-dried mud bricks with hand-worked wooden supports. The structure has walls two feet thick made from precisely shaped adobe bricks and includes original hand-hewn redwood timbers.
The house was built in 1842 by Juan Felipe Pena during the Mexican period in California. It remains the oldest surviving structure in Solano County from that era.
The building shows construction methods that Mexican settlers and Native American workers developed together in 19th century California. The thick adobe bricks and hand-worked wooden beams tell the story of a time when different people built side by side.
The house opens on the first Saturday of each month from February through December for regular visits. Those wanting a more personal tour can request a private guided visit through the local Historical Society.
The house has only four windows and dirt floors rather than wooden floors common in homes of that era. These features preserve the original way people lived when the structure was first built.
