About this landmark
Plaque text:
Vicente Martinez Adobe
In 1849, Vicente Martinez built a two-story adobe ranch house on his portion of the Rancho Pinole. This land was inherited from his father, Don Ignacio Martinez, a Spanish officer who became comandante of the San Francisco presidio and later alcalde of San Francisco. In 1966 the National Park Service acquired the adobe and it is now open to the public.
