Avila Adobe

This is the roof of the oldest house in Los Angeles. It's called the Avila Adobe, and was
the home to the Avila Family. It was built in 1818, and still stands. Apparently it was
badly damaged in the 1971 quake, but has been restored rather well. The Avila
family were well to do and managed their vineards, among other things.
