Centinela Adobe, also known as Aguaje de la Centinela, was built about 1834. Pioneer residents of La Casa de La Centinela included Ignacio Machado on 8/14/1844, Bruno Avila on 4/7/1845, Joseph L. Brent on 3/26/1859, Sir Robert Burnett on 11/16/1860, and Daniel Freeman on 4/7/1882. Round cooking stones from an archaeological dig in Playa Vista may have been used by Gabrielino/Tongva Native Americans thought to have lived in that area to cook stew by heating the stones in an open fire and placing them in tightly woven cooking baskets or animal skin bags filled with water until it boiled, after which meat, beans, roots, and herbs were added.
