Title supplied by cataloger. The Treaty of Cahuenga was signed between Lieutenant Colonel John C. Fremont and General Andres Pico on January 13, 1847, at Tomas Felix' six-room adobe farmhouse here, and ended hostilities in California between Mexico and the United Stated. The result brought nearly a half-million acres of land under the United States' jurisdiction. The Recreation and Park Department-operated facility shown here is a replica of the casa where the treaty was signed.

It is also designated California Historical Landmark #51 as well as City of Los Angeles City Historical Monument #29.
