Adobe house constructed by José Manuel Machado in 1830's for his daughter, Rosa, wife of John C. Stewart. Stewart was a shipmate of Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of Two Years Before the Mast, in which he describes his visit to this house in 1859.

1971 register text, presented as a historical document.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 ↗
