Notes:
"Later, Juana Alviso, widow of Jose Maria, married Jose Urridias, who as manager of the rancho, gradually sold off acreage as needed for cash. Maria de Los Angeles Alviso Sepulveda inherited the adobe and the land immediately surrounding it. The family sold much of this to the Cuciz family about 1918. The Cuciz's planted orchards of fruit trees, built a water tankhouse, a barn (partly constructed of timbers salvaged from the three adobes south of the main house), a carriage shed, drying shed, power generator, and other improvements. The Cuziz sold the property to the Calvary Assembly of God Church in the early 1980s. The adobe remained inhabited from the time it was built until it became city property - perhaps the oldest continuously inhabited adobe home in California."
