Title supplied by cataloger. The Figueroa Adobe, located at 3404 S. Figueroa St, was built in 1846 by Ramo´n Figueroa - brother of the 1833 Mexican Governor of California, Jose´ Figueroa. In 1886 it became the home of John Graff; in 1890 it was taken on as a remodeling project by architect Sumner P. Hunt; and years later, C. C. Thenes became the owner of the home. Eventually, the house was occupied by a great-granddaughter of a Spanish soldier who accompanied Governor Felipe de Neve on the march from San Gabriel Mission to found Los Angeles in 1781.
