Avila Adobe
Oldest Home in LA

10 Olvera St Los Angeles, CA 90012 |
Description
This adobe structure, built by Don Francisco Avila, is considered the oldest existing house in Los Angeles. By modern standards the home is quite small, though at the time it was the largest in the area. Although it has been heavily restored, much of the original walls survive today. It now functions as a museum with the interior having been refurbished to include a four-post bed and other furniture from the era. Call +1 213 628 1274 to arrange a free tour.
