Yucaipa Adobe

Diego Sepulveda, nephew of Antonio Maria Lugo, put this adobe up in 1842 on land the Lugos had just been granted, and it is generally called the oldest house in San Bernardino County. It stands on the Yucaipat village site, which is the other plaque here. After Sepulveda it passed to John Brown senior, then James Waters, then the Dunlap family, and in 1955 the county bought it. Two hundred years of ownership, and the first owners are the ones without a deed.
