SLO's oldest home, La Loma Adobe, has a long, rich history that began in 1782
Adobe buildings are living structures. The adobe keeps strength by wicking moisture from the ground. Cut off from water, they crumble to dust. Too much water, and they melt. Sun-dried adobe bricks are formed from soil, sand and straw, and when well cared for, adobes are the oldest surviving buildings in California. Often the majority of the labor to create the bricks came from Native Americans, and adobe was the building material most available and affordable in the 1700s and early 1800s. The county has a mixed record of preserving adobe history. Mission San Luis Obispo has been restored from fire, Mission San Miguel from earthquake. Many others have suffered from neglect and melted in the rain. The city of San Luis Obispo owns three of these precious buildings. On May 29, 2005, reporter Leslie Griffy wrote a comprehensive story about their history and status. She quoted city engineer Mike McGuire, who said, 'These buildings were the homes of the founders of San Luis Obispo. ... They provide an important link to our past.' They were threatened then and unfortunately little has changed in 20 years. The exterior of the Rodriguez Adobe in the Arbors neighborhood was restored, but the interior is still rough. The Rosa Butrón de Canet Adobe on Dana Street needed serious work two decades ago after suffering damage from the San Simeon Earthquake. Recently a plan has been floated to build a tiny home village on the Dana Street property around the adobe, and that could be a funding driver to help restore the historic structure. Critics argue that the property was donated to the city to be preserved not developed. But time weighs heavily on unused buildings. The saddest story is of the oldest residence in the county. The two-story La Loma Adobe — also called the Bowden Adobe — is on Lizzie Street uphill from the San Luis Coastal Unified School District offices. The hillside home has been witness to weddings and dances, governors and generals. It was still an active residence as late as the mid-20th century. Now fenced off and fading, it was estimated in 2005 that La Loma needed as much as $2 million to be restored. Though some grants have been found for interim repairs, restoration remains elusive. In 1947 Telegram-Tribune reporter Cecilia Jensen wrote a series of stories about local historic adobes and landmarks as the state geared up for a centennial observance of the Gold Rush. This story about the La Loma Adobe was published on Dec. 10, 1947. On the brow of a hill at the end of Lizzie street, overlooking the city of San Luis Obispo, stands La Loma, believed to be the oldest adobe residence still standing in San Luis Obispo county. The most accurate records available indicate that the adobe was built in 1782, only 10 years after the Old Mission was established and in the year after George Washington accepted the surrender of Cornwallis to end the Revolutionary War. For the past 35 years the house has been occupied by the family of Mrs. Isabel Bowden. To the casual observer, it's ancient origin is not immediately apparent. A siding of lumber has been put over the adobe at some distant time and vines grow over much of the structure. Beneath this relatively modern exterior however, are the well preserved 'dobe walls, two feet thick and plastered white. What a story these old walls could tell. Knew Fremont Once the house quartered Gen. John C. Fremont during the winter encampment of 1846, when his battalion feasted on the cactus pears growing nearby in abundance. Its floors have also felt the steps of Pio Pico, last Mexican governor of Alta California; of Gen. Jose Castro, one of his predecessors; of Señorita Ramona Pacheco Wilson, mother of Romaldo Pacheco, governor of California in 1870, and her husband Captain John Wilson. District Judge Pablo De la Guerra of Santa Barbara, later a senator from that district, was among the prominent visitors at the adobe, which is believed to have been erected by Indian servants working under a Spanish landlord. Once the adobe was a trading post where furs and gold dust were bartered for supplies; again it was a tavern where infrequent travelers found food and lodging. Mexican grant Don Francisco Estevan Quintana was the first recorded owner of the property on which La Loma stands. He acquired La Vena rancho, comprising more than 6,000 acres in 1842 by a land grant from Gov. Manuel Micheltorena, next to the last of the Mexican governors of Alta California. In the same year, Señorita Mari Concepcion Boronda was granted the Potrero rancho of more than 3,500 acres, drained by Chorro creek. She traded part of Potrero rancho to Don Quintana for part of La Vena rancho including the site of La Loma. While Señorita Boronda was living in Monterey, which her family had helped to settle, she met Captain Oliver Deleissegus, a French reserve Navy captain. He had come to explore the Pacific coast, had been shipwrecked in Monterey Bay and had saved his life by swimming to shore. Oliver and 'Chonita' as she was reportedly nicknamed, fell in love, were married, and had five children before he died. The young widow then married Don Jose Maria Munoz, a native of Mexico, and a scholarly man. Early day judge Together they came to La Loma to live, where four children were born to them. Along with other enterprises, Munoz served as county judge for San Luis Obispo County for four years. To correct a flaw in the land title of Don Quintana, Judge Munoz homesteaded the quarter section surrounding La Loma and received a government patent from the United States on Sept. 15. 1870. Their children and Oliver's children grew up within the two-feet-thick white plastered walls, with their small windows and cool rooms. They climbed the outside stairway to the upstairs rooms, shaped exactly like the rooms beneath, where they slept. When they reached the proper age there were dances in the small ballroom upstairs. Romance flourished and beginning in 1871, Father Rouselle of the Old Mission began officiating in a series of weddings that took place in the almost century-old house. Here Miss Adela Deleissegues wed Michal Henderson, Miss Rebecca Haines became the bride of Albert Deleissegues; Miss Manuela Munoz married Fred Dana; Miss Carmen Hames plighted her troth to Guadalupe Munoz, who later moved to Ballard, Santa Barbara County; and Miss Eugino Durazo was married to Alexander Deleissegues. Another son, Ben Munoz, was a watchman for San Luis Obispo, and comprised the entire police department at that time. Judge Munoz was proud of his home and beautified the grounds with orange and fig trees and kept a wonderful garden. They looked down from their hillside vantage point onto the cotton field, which bordered their property, grown by Old Mission priests. Beyond was the olive orchard and the Old Mission itself. More houses were beginning to thicken the town. A new neighbor, Pierre Dallidet, had built an adobe down by the creek. In 1874 tragedy struck again in Maria Concepcion's life when Judge Munoz was drowned in a shipwreck while enroute to Mexico on a business trip. Her son, Alexander, assisted in operating the rancho. He subdivided the property, opened up Johnson Avenue and named Lizzie Street for a small niece of whom he was extremely fond. But widowed again, in 1887 Señora Maria Concepcion Boronda de Munoz sold the property to John Corbett of Corbett canyon, who was a great uncle to James J. Corbett, famous San Francisco boxer. On Sept. 22, 1898, the property passed to Caroline E. Noyes, who sold it to Charles Bowden on Feb. 24, 1914, his widow, Isabel, inheriting it on Sept. 5, 1930. In this tradition-drenched home that has seen more than a century of existence and still holds the atmosphere of its beginning, the Bowden family has grown up, still walking on floors in the upstairs rooms that were laid 165 years ago. The downstairs floors were packed dirt when the house was first erected.
