The Dominguez Rancho Adobe is California Historical Landmark Number 152,[1] and in 1976 was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
The adobe of Manuel Dominguez, on the Spanish land grant of Rancho San Pedro (re-validated under Mexican rule), was completed in 1826. The home features 2-foot-thick (0.61 m) walls, heavy timbers and a flat, tarred roof. Much of the furniture is original to the Dominguez family.[2]
The Friends of Rancho San Pedro operate the adobe ranch home as the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum. The Friends provide guided tours of the house, as well as host many educational programs about ranch life and early California history. The museum's address is 18127 South Alameda Street, Rancho Dominguez, California,[3] an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, located between the cities of Compton, Long Beach and Carson.
