1. Buildings & Structures Marker
Inscription. The historic buildings on the property – the Vallejo Adobe, President’s House, Office Building and Packing Shed - make up the historic core of the site, and were the center of the nursery operation; the place where orders were placed, materials were prepared for shipping and where the president of the nursery and his family lived. The master plan seeks to restore these important site buildings.

All of the historic buildings and structures remain on site except the garden store. The historic buildings and structures that will be rehabilitated and adapted for new uses, as described in the master plan, will include the Office Building (c.1907), the Changing Room (c.1907), the President’s House (1907), the Packing Shed (1910), the Vallejo Adobe (c.1842), a restroom (c.1970), a small windmill (930s) and what is referred to as the California Nursery Archive Building.
