History

In 1849, Vicente Martinez built a two-story adobe ranch house on his portion of Rancho Pinole. He had inherited this land from his father, Don Ignacio Martinez, a Spanish officer who became Comandante of the San Francisco Presidio and later Alcade of San Francisco. In 1966, the National Park Service acquired the adobe, and it is now open to the public.
