Description
Vincent de la Osa Adobe, built in 1849 by Don Vicente De La Osa, was a favored stopping place for the numerous travelers on El Camino Real. It stands on land that is a part of the one-square-league Rancho El Encino granted in 1845 by Governor Pio Pico to three Indians, Ramon, Francisco, and Roque, whose interests were purchased by Don Vicente. Originally the land was under the jurisdiction of Mission San Fernando Rey founded in 1797.
Photograph caption dated March 10, 1960 reads "Dr. Donald C. Cutter, professor of history, right, and graduate student John Polich, inspect timber from floor discovered in blacksmith shop to rear of Encino's first adobe. One floor and later another were found as excavation continued. Digging is directed by Dr. William J. Wallace and commissioned by state." Cutter is a professor at USC.
