Inscription. Manuel Robles made the adobes and built this house in 1881. The single-story residence is an excellent example of a modified Sonoran-style rowhouse. Originally it was an L-shaped structure with a flat earth-filled roof, then about 1913 a flat metal roof on a wood-framed hip structure was installed above the original roof. The Feliz de Lopez family, who has occupied the house since about 1913, built extensions on the east and south sides.
