Roberto-Sunol Adobe
This historic adobe was built in 1836 by a native Californian, Roberto Balermino, on Rancho de Los Coches. The property was officially granted to him by Governor Micheltorena in 1844. A larger one-story dwelling was built in 1847 by the new owner, Antonio Sunol. The second-story frame structure and balcony were added in 1853 by Captain Stefano Splivalo.
