Salvador Vallejo owned this property during the mid-19th century, calling his farm Rancho Yajome. According to one version of the site's history, the rancho then went to the duaghter of General Mariano G. Vallejo (Slavador's brother), when she married the American General John C. Frisbie. Subsequently, parcels of rancho land were acquired by another American military man, General John Franklin Miller, who erected a mansion in the 1870s that still stood in 2007. The mansion was built around the existing adobe residence, it is said to comply with the local superstition that harm would come to those who destroyed adobe houses.
