Avila Adobe
Type: Buildings
Status: Open
Built in the 1840s, probably over older ruins, this was the elegant town house of Juan Avila. Called 'El Rico' (The Rich One), he was the grantee of Rancho Niguel in 1842. A disastrous fire destroyed much of the adobe in 1879, and only a small part was rebuilt. It served as Avila's home until his death in 1889.
