Historical Data
The
part
of the
city
called
"
Sonora
Town
" was an
old
adobe
village
north
of the
Plaza
and
Church
of
Our
Lady
,
Queen
of the
Angels
.
It
was
Los
Angeles
'
first
Mexican
quarters
, or
barrio
. The
area
was
named
for the
numerous
miners
and
families
who
came
from
Sonora
,
Mexico
, and
may
have
still
been
around
in the
1930s
.

Chinatown
District

Description
Early
adobe
home
located
on the
corner
of
New
High
and
Ord
streets
in
Sonora
Town
,
it
was
built
between
1850
and
1860
.
It
shows
a
New
England
influence
; its
Georgian
door
and
window
frames
were
brought
from that
section
by
ship
. A
man
standing
at the
corner
appears
to be
looking
across
the
street
at the
photographer
, and
several
people
can
be
seen
standing
next
to a
horse-drawn
carriage
that
is
parked
farther
back
,
along
the
right
side
of the
street
. This
dwelling
was
abandoned
in
1936
and
became
a
restaurant
named
El
Adobe
Cafe
a
year
later
. At
some
point
after
that,
it
changed
owners
and
became
the
J.G
.
Medina
grocery
store
.
