This was an adobe that early Anglo settler, John Marsh, built on his property near Brentwood, CA; Marsh was a quintessential Anglo adventurer, one who arrived well before John Sutter and other notable immigrants and did multiple jobs to survive on the frontier; he was, at various times, a doctor in Los Angeles, a gold miner, and a cattle rancher; his activities as a doctor earned him the $500 needed to purchase the Rancho Los Meganos from its owner, Jose Noriega, in 1837; Marsh occupied this adobe from c. 1838-1856, when his new "Stone House" was completed; his throat was cut in a dispute a few weeks after he moved into it.
