Description
View of a dwelling that belonged to the first white settler in Orland, Glenn County circa 1915 Swift Adobe - looked like this in about 1915, after the porch and most of the roof were gone and some of the walls had fallen. Treasure hunters were blamed for undermined the walls. Granville Swift, who built the adobe in 1847, was said to have struck it rich mining gold on the Feather River - and to have buried much of his gold around the cabin. It was never found, so far as anyone knows. This was said to be the first permanent home of a white settler in what is now Glenn County
