  Caption: "Old Spanish Fort -- Petaluma," c. 1920. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo began construction on the Petaluma Adobe in 1836, as a ranch house and defensive structure. It is now the centerpiece of Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park, having been reconstructed after deterioration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It is the largest existing, privately-built adobe in the state.

  Date: 1920
