Peña Adobe, Historic adobe house in Vacaville, US.
The Peña Adobe structure features two-foot-thick walls made from sun-dried mud bricks and includes original hand-hewn redwood timbers from Napa County.
Built in 1842 by Juan Felipe Peña during the Mexican period, this adobe house stands as the oldest remaining structure in Solano County.
The adobe construction methods and architectural design reflect the building traditions of Mexican settlers and Native American laborers in 19th century California.
The site opens on the first Saturday of each month from February through December, with private tours available upon request through the Historical Society.
Located within an 8-acre park, the adobe includes four windows, dirt floors, and walls constructed from precisely measured 23 by 10 by 3-inch mud bricks.
