Don Raymundo Olivas, the original owner, was born in Los Angeles in 1801. In 1821 he came to the vicinity of Ventura. On July 6, 1841, he was granted the Rancho San Miguel. The adobe is a long two-story building with balcony and veranda overlooking a walled garden below.

1971 register text, presented as a historical document. It uses the period's terms for Native people; the state's landmark listings still carry most of this wording, and the California Office of Historic Preservation maintains the program's current texts.

Many of these plaques have since been recast or their texts revised. The California Historical Landmarks program and its current texts are maintained by the California Office of Historic Preservation. California Office of Historic Preservation ↗
