Rancho Simi (Calif.)
Strathearn's Adobe
Exterior view of the Rancho Simi Adobe. Shows a one side of the building, with a portion of a porch visible. A pile of what appears to be rocks or firewood is stacked against the building, below a window. Portions of other structures are visible in the background.
Attached note from Pat Havens provides information about the adobe's history. It indicates that the original adobe was built before 1800, was burned down in the 1820s and underwent a series of renovations before being managed by the Strathearn family.
